Tolka LiveEveryone understands.
Instantly.
Tolka Live listens to the speaker and shows the translation as on-screen text – and as a voice in headphones – in 44 languages. In real time, as the words are spoken.
Built for church services, conferences and livestreams · macOS & Windows
Everything you need for multilingual events
One app on your computer. No interpreter booths, no delay, no staffing.
True real time
Captions appear word by word while the speaker is talking – not afterwards. The source language is detected automatically.
44 languages
Nordic, European, African, Asian and Middle Eastern languages – from Swedish and Icelandic to Swahili and Mandarin.
ProPresenter
Captions go straight to the projector and stage display through ProPresenter's network API. You control style and placement.
OBS & livestream
A ready-made transparent caption overlay for OBS Browser Source – subtitles in your stream with zero extra editing.
AI voice
The translation can also be spoken with a natural AI voice – to headphones, a PA zone, or into the stream.
Tone control
Per-event instructions to the AI (e.g. liturgical or business register) and a built-in per-language profanity filter.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages are supported?
44 target languages, including Swedish, English, Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Swahili, Amharic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The source language is detected automatically.
Is internet required?
Yes, a stable internet connection is required since translation runs on top-tier cloud AI. A normal broadband connection is more than enough.
What equipment do we need?
A Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel) or a Windows PC, plus a microphone feed from your existing sound system. If you use ProPresenter or OBS we connect them – otherwise the app's own caption window works great on a projector.
How good is the translation?
Very good – it is powered by today's leading AI technology and handles religious and technical vocabulary well. You can also give it your own instructions on tone and terminology, and a profanity filter is built in.
What happens if we run out of hours?
The app warns you at 80% of your monthly hours. You can always upgrade or add hours – no surprise invoices.
