Fraze help

Translate a Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call

Fraze shows live captions and translation for everyone in a call. No bot joins the meeting: Fraze listens to the sound your computer plays. You need two things: the right pair of languages, and System audio turned on.

Which computer are you using?

1. Pick the two languages

  1. Click the language pill in the top left corner.

  2. Under Spoken language, pick the language people speak. Under Translate to, pick the language you want to read, or No translation for captions only. You can type to search.

  4. The first time, macOS asks whether Fraze can record system audio. Allow it. Fraze hears all sound playing on your Mac, so there is no window to pick.

  5. Fraze hears all sound playing on this PC, so there is no window to pick. Make sure the sound plays through speakers or headphones that are turned on in Windows.

Tips

You can start Fraze before the call or in the middle of it.

To keep the captions on top of the call window, open the captions window. The guide below shows how.

To stop, click the round button in the pill again. Your transcript stays on screen.
