Hope Translator works alongside Zoom so you can offer real-time translation to everyone in your meeting. Route Zoom’s audio into Hope Translator using a loopback virtual audio device, then share the broadcast link or QR code with your audience. Attendees open the link to listen or read the translation in their preferred language—no extra software on their side.
For the best results, feed Zoom’s meeting audio into Hope Translator using a loopback (virtual audio) device. That way Hope Translator receives the same audio you hear in Zoom and can transcribe and translate it accurately.
Our guide Live Translation and Loopback Audio Routing explains what loopback is and how to set up a virtual audio device on your system. In short:
Once this is set up, start your Hope Translator session and begin your Zoom meeting. Hope Translator will transcribe and translate the meeting audio in real time.
Your audience gets the translation via the broadcast link or QR code from Hope Translator—not through Zoom.
No one needs to install anything; the link works in a browser. For more on hosting and joining, see How to Listen to Live Translation.
You can use Hope Translator with Zoom by routing Zoom’s audio through a loopback virtual device into Hope Translator, then sharing the broadcast link or QR code. Attendees open the link to listen or read the translation in their preferred language. Set up loopback once, share the link, and your meeting is ready for real-time translation.
