How it works

1. Install SonicMeet

Add the extension to Chrome or Edge, or download the app for Windows or Mac.

2. Join Your Meeting

Join as usual — Google Meet in your browser, Zoom or Teams in the browser or their desktop app.

3. Click Start

Captions appear instantly. Take notes and review transcripts after.

Two ways to run SonicMeet

Same account, same subscription. Which one you need comes down to where your meetings actually happen — and you can run both.

Windows & Mac desktop app

Covers every meeting on your computer

  • The Zoom, Teams and Webex desktop clients — and every meeting you join in a browser
  • Anything else that plays audio: webinars, recorded courses, videos
  • Windows 10/11 · macOS 14.2 or later · free download

Needs a download and install, and there's no Linux version — use the extension there

Chrome & Edge extension

Covers every meeting in your browser

  • Google Meet, plus Zoom and Teams on the web — any meeting in a Chrome or Edge tab
  • One click to install, nothing to download
  • Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux

Can't reach the Zoom or Teams desktop clients — those need the Windows or Mac app

Compare both and download

One account, one subscription — both are included.

Built for real meeting scenarios

Follow fast-paced English meetings

See bilingual captions in real time so you never fall behind when native speakers talk fast.

Cross-language team standups

International teams can read captions in their own language while hearing the original.

Take notes without losing context

Tap any caption line to save it as a note. Or add freeform notes — all tied to your meeting timeline.

Review what was said after the call

Full transcript and notes saved automatically. Search, re-read, and never rely on memory alone.

Why SonicMeet is different

No bot joins your meeting

SonicMeet captures audio on your own computer — from the meeting tab with the extension, or from system audio with the Windows and Mac app. Nothing joins the call and no audio recording is kept: the captions appear only on your own screen, with no awkward 'bot is joining' popup for the others.

Auto-stop when the room goes quiet

If there's no voice for 5 minutes, SonicMeet stops automatically — so forgetting to close a tab never burns through your meeting minutes.

Independent transcription engine

SonicMeet uses its own real-time transcription and translation pipeline instead of relying on built-in meeting captions.

Ultra-low latency, 60+ languages

Sub-second bilingual captions and translation across 60+ languages, so cross-language meetings still feel natural.

Two translation modes: Instant and Accurate

Instant keeps latency ultra-low for live back-and-forth. Accurate waits for the full sentence and translates it with a stronger reasoning model and more context — a few seconds slower, noticeably better on technical terms and natural phrasing. Switch anytime, on every plan.

Bilingual captions

See original and translation side by side. Switch between original only, translation only, or both.

Quick notes from captions

Tap any caption line to save it as a note. Add freeform thoughts anytime. No context switching needed.

Full transcript history

Every meeting's captions and notes are saved. Review, search, and export whenever you need.

AI meeting summaries

After the call, get a concise recap — key decisions, action items, and takeaways, without re-reading the whole transcript.

Privacy-first design

Audio recordings are not stored. Transcripts, translations, notes, and summaries are processed only to provide SonicMeet features such as live captions, history, review, and summaries.

Built by someone who sits in meetings all day

Ethan Hu
Ethan Hu · Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Ethan Hu. I'm a software engineer working at a large tech company in a country where the main language isn't my native one. Most of my week is spent in meetings — standups, design reviews, all-hands — and keeping up in a second language is exhausting.

I built SonicMeet because I was tired of missing things in fast-paced meetings and spending evenings re-reading transcripts just to understand what people said. I wanted something that quietly sits in my browser, gives me clear captions and translations in real time, and lets me jot down quick notes without losing focus. I use SonicMeet myself every day. If something feels off or you have ideas, email me directly — I read every message.

FAQ

1. Does it work with Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams?
Yes, all three. For meetings you join in a Chrome or Edge tab, add the extension, start the call, then click Start in SonicMeet — captions appear on top of your meeting window. If you join from the Zoom or Teams desktop client instead, install the SonicMeet app for Windows or Mac: it captures the audio on your computer, so it works outside the browser too.
2. Which meeting platforms are supported?
The SonicMeet app for Windows and Mac doesn't hook into any particular platform — it captures whatever audio is playing on your computer. That covers the desktop clients of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, GoTo Meeting, Slack huddles, Discord, Tencent Meeting, Lark and DingTalk, plus anything else with sound: webinars, recorded courses, videos. Most of those platforms are used mainly through their desktop client, which is exactly what the desktop app is built for. The Chrome and Edge extension is tuned for the browser versions of Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams — Google Meet is browser-first, so there the extension is usually all you need.
3. Do I need the extension or the desktop app?
If you join meetings in a browser tab, the Chrome & Edge extension is all you need — one click, nothing to download, and it runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. If you join from the Zoom or Teams desktop client, the extension can't reach that audio, but the desktop app for Windows or Mac can, because it captures the sound on your computer. Both share one account and one subscription, so you can install both.

4. Does a bot join my meeting?
No. SonicMeet picks up the audio right on your own computer — from the meeting tab with the extension, or from your system audio with the Windows and Mac app. Nothing joins the call, nothing is posted into the meeting, and no audio recording is kept: the captions appear only on your own screen, and other participants see them only if you share your screen with them visible. This is a key difference from tools like Otter.ai or Fireflies, which join the meeting as a bot.
5. How does SonicMeet compare to native meeting captions?
SonicMeet does not depend on built-in caption systems. This helps deliver a more consistent live transcription and translation experience across Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, especially in multilingual conversations, fast-paced discussions, and meetings with domain-specific terms.
6. Can I make the translation more accurate?
Yes. SonicMeet has two translation modes and you choose per meeting. Instant is the default: it translates as the words arrive, with ultra-low latency, which is what you want in a fast back-and-forth conversation. Accurate waits for the complete sentence and translates it with a stronger reasoning model that sees much more of the surrounding conversation — technical terms land correctly, the phrasing reads like a native speaker wrote it, and pronouns and references stay consistent with what was said earlier. Accurate typically runs 1–5 seconds behind Instant. Open Settings in the caption area to switch, mid-meeting if you like. Both modes are available on every plan, including Free.
7. Which languages are supported?
SonicMeet supports real-time transcription in 62 source languages and translation into all 62 target languages. Cantonese (written in Traditional Chinese) and Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) can now be selected as either the Source language or Target language. For meetings spoken in Cantonese or Taiwan-style Mandarin, select the source manually because Auto currently resolves spoken Chinese to Simplified Chinese. You can display the original captions and translation together.

8. Can I take notes during the meeting?
Yes. Tap any caption line to save it as a note instantly. You can also write freeform notes at any time. All notes are saved alongside the full transcript so you can review everything after the meeting ends.
9. Is my meeting audio private?
To produce live captions, SonicMeet streams your meeting audio in real time to our servers and trusted speech-processing providers. It's processed live — we don't keep an audio recording. What we do save is text: transcripts, translations, notes and summaries, so you can look back at past meetings. We don't sell your data or use your meetings to train general-purpose AI models. To have your account data deleted, email [email protected].

10. Do I need an account, and why does SonicMeet ask me to sign in with Google?
Yes. SonicMeet is a live captioning and translation tool for meetings, and your account keeps your free minutes, subscription and transcript history in one place. We use Google Sign-In to create that account: SonicMeet receives only your name, email address and profile picture from Google, and uses them to identify you. We never ask for access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar or any other Google data, and nothing is posted to your Google account. You can review the exact permissions on Google's consent screen and revoke them anytime from your Google Account.

11. How does the Team plan work?
The Team plan is $25 per seat per month with a minimum of 2 seats. Every seat adds 15 hours and 60 AI credits to one shared pool, so members who meet more can draw on hours from members who meet less. Sign in with Google on the Team page, name your team, pick the number of seats, and pay by card. Seats are active right away and you can invite members immediately. Need more hours? Add recurring 50-hour blocks or one-time top-ups from the Billing page. For 50+ seats, invoicing, or a security review, contact us.
