Souvoix · Official Website · Mac App Store · Watch Demo

I recently released my first macOS app, Souvoix. The name Souvoix comes from the French words sous and voix, meaning “under” and “voice,” respectively. I wanted the name to reflect what the app does: turning speech into readable, translatable text and generating bilingual subtitles.

It’s designed for people who want to watch foreign-language videos without subtitles. I would say that using LLMs for translation is definitely one of the most cost-effective applications of AI right now. Google’s LLMs are especially good at subtitle translation, and translating an entire video usually costs just a few cents, sometimes even less.
