Microsoft Translator's Live Conversations feature is part of the free Microsoft Translator app, available on iOS, Android, and Windows. One participant starts a session and shares a short join code; others join on their own devices and instantly see live captions — each in the language of their choice — with no account required to join.
The session host (or any speaker in the room) speaks and captions appear on every participant's device in near real time across 60+ supported languages. Groups of any size can join the same session with no limit on device count. Deaf and hard-of-hearing participants read captions in English (or another supported language) without requiring a dedicated captioning service or additional hardware — any smartphone or tablet works as a caption display. The entire app is free and does not require a Microsoft account to use.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing students, patients, employees, and community members in group settings, particularly in multilingual contexts such as immigrant-serving clinics, ESL classrooms, and international events where participants may benefit from captions in their own language alongside hearing accessibility.
