Live translation for Kontur.Talk meetings, without an interpreter

No, on no tariff. The only text Kontur.Talk produces is a transcript of a cloud recording, ready minutes to a couple of hours after the meeting, on paid tariffs, and only for Russian speech. SonicMeet captions the meeting audio itself as it happens, in 60+ spoken languages, translates it, shows both lines and keeps the transcript.

Only with a human interpreter. On Business Plus and above, the organizer sets language pairs, assigns an interpreter to each, and participants choose which audio channel to listen to. There is no automatic translation and nothing is written down. SonicMeet translates what people say into text on your side, in any of 60+ languages, with the original under each line.

Bilingual captions: the English translation on top, the Russian original under it, as people speak. Leave the spoken language on Auto detect. Tap any line to save it as a note, and the whole transcript stays with you after the meeting.

Yes. Their tariff decides whether Kontur.Talk records or transcribes; it decides nothing about what runs on your computer. SonicMeet only uses what you hear, so it works the same as a guest in any space.

Yes. Kontur.Talk's web version runs in Chrome, Firefox and Safari; the SonicMeet extension runs in Chrome and Edge, so use Chrome. Yandex Browser is built on Chromium and installs extensions from the Chrome Web Store, but we test only Chrome and Edge.

On Windows and Mac, yes: SonicMeet for Windows and Mac captions the audio of the Kontur.Talk window, so you keep the app as it is. Kontur.Talk also has a Linux app, and SonicMeet's desktop app does not run on Linux; there, join from the browser and use the extension.

With Kontur.Talk: record the meeting to the cloud on a paid tariff, wait for the transcript under Artifacts, and only if the meeting was in Russian. Every participant can read it, and the space admin can switch the feature off. With SonicMeet: the transcript builds on your side during the meeting, in any language, on any tariff, recorded or not.

No. SonicMeet is not a Kontur.Talk app and not a bot: nothing appears in the participant list, nothing is announced, nothing is installed in the space. Captions render on your screen only. Audio is processed by SonicMeet and its speech provider in real time, and we don't keep an audio recording.

No. SonicMeet does not connect to Kontur.Talk or your space's settings; it is software on your own computer. On a company-managed device, follow your company's rules for installing programs or browser extensions.

Yes. Start caps meetings at 40 minutes and 50 people and leaves out recording, transcription and interpretation; none of that limits SonicMeet. You get the same captions, translation and transcript as on any paid tariff.

Two modes, chosen per meeting. Instant translates as the words arrive with sub-second delay. Accurate waits for the complete sentence and translates it with a stronger model and far more surrounding context, which makes a visible difference on technical terms, product names and natural phrasing, roughly 1 to 5 seconds behind Instant. Switch from Settings in the caption area at any time.

Yes to start. Install SonicMeet, sign in with Google, and the Free plan gives you 20 minutes a month of captions with both translation modes. Paid plans add hours. There is nothing to buy from Kontur, for you or for the organizer.
