耳语同传 Hushpiece
✦ Ours FreeOn-device meeting interpreter for Mac — live bilingual subtitles for any meeting app
When the other side speaks another language, subtitles in yours appear live, with the original underneath; say something in your language and the translation appears as soon as you pause — with a virtual audio device, they hear it spoken. Recognition, translation and speech all run on macOS on-device models — no internet, no account, no minute limits, no recordings. Any pair of 9 languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese); the interface comes in English and Chinese and follows your Mac's language. Ships a CLI and an MCP server. Requires macOS 26 on Apple silicon.
Why we picked it
Most meeting interpreters upload your call audio to the cloud, bill by the minute and want an account first. Hushpiece goes the other way: it uses macOS's own on-device speech and translation models, so the meeting never leaves your Mac and there is no time limit.
It works with any meeting app — Zoom, Teams, WeCom, Feishu, DingTalk — because it listens to system audio. The subtitle panel shrinks to a single film-style line, and every meeting leaves a bilingual transcript. Free, MIT-licensed, with a CLI and an MCP server so AI can read transcripts and speak for you. It's our answer to "meetings should be free too."
