for attendees and small organizers
Verli is a conference translation app for the laptop you already bring. It listens to the talk or the livestream and shows the translation under each line, in any pair of 60+ languages.
no venue app or bot needed
1.
In the room, keep Microphone on and sit close to the stage or a loudspeaker. For a livestream or online event, turn on Desktop audio and turn Microphone off. The Mac and Windows apps hear all sound your computer plays. In the web app, pick the tab playing the stream, turn on Share audio, then click Share. Tab audio works best in Chrome.
2.
Set Language 1 to the language on stage and Language 2 to yours. Verli works out which of the two languages each person uses, so a talk in one language and questions in the other both get translated.
3.
Each line appears with its translation right under it. If you only glance at the screen, open View settings and press A+ to make the text bigger. Stop recording at each break. Minutes count the whole time recording is on, silence included.
Verli runs on your laptop and never joins the event. There is no venue app to install and no bot in the webinar, and Verli shows nothing to the host or other attendees. Check the event's recording rules first.
Click Assistant to open the AI Assistant panel, then turn on Knowledge base. Add speaker names, product names and technical terms under Words to recognize. Under Preferred translations, set the exact translation for acronyms that must not change. Choose Create new preset to save the list. It stays on your account, ready for day two.
On Standard or Premium, one laptop can share the live text with the people in the room. Once recording starts, choose Share transcript, then Copy share link. Attendees open it in their phone's browser with no account. They see the session's two languages, can show only the translation, and can make the text bigger.
By default, Verli saves each recording to History. Choose Copy transcript, turn on Include timing and Include speaker, and paste it into your notes. Paid plans add an AI summary of the session in the language you pick.
The best case is one person speaking into a microphone at a steady pace. Verli hears what your laptop microphone hears, so a voice from far away comes through weaker. A panel where people talk over each other is harder too, and so is a question from the floor without a microphone. Sit near the front or near a loudspeaker. Verli works with any input device, so you can also plug in a USB microphone and point it at the stage. Text appears while the person talks, and each translation follows shortly after. You read a little behind the voice. You do not need a translation device or earbuds: Verli is software and runs on the laptop you already have.
If the event offers interpretation or captions in its own app, try that first, since it takes sound straight from the stage microphone. If the session is also streamed, the stream is often clearer than the room. Follow it with Desktop audio and wear headphones.
Plan your minutes before you travel. The 60 minutes you get at sign-up need no credit card and cover one hour-long session, so use them as a test. Standard is $7.99 per month and Premium is $19.99 per month, in USD. Both include 10 hours a month, and Premium adds more natural voice translation. Plan minutes expire at the end of each billing cycle, so start the plan close to the event. A full day is often 6 to 8 hours of sessions. If you record only the 5 hours of talks you need, 10 hours cover two days. A three-day event at that pace needs 15 hours, so members can add a 5 or 10 hour minute pack. Pick the 10 hour pack if you want time to spare.
Small organizers on Standard or Premium can offer live captions for conferences and meetups from one laptop. Tell the speakers first, and get their consent where the law or the venue requires it. Place the laptop near the stage or plug in a microphone, then start recording. Copy the share link and post it in the event chat or show it on screen. The link stops being live when you stop recording, so after a break, share again and post the new link. Verli has no projector mode and plays no translated audio for the room. If you need several languages at once, or translated audio for each listener, an event interpretation service or a human interpreter fits better.
Check the event's recording rules before you start, and get consent where the law, your employer or the venue requires it. Verli keeps no audio once the session ends. It does not train AI models on your audio or transcripts. For medical, legal or financial sessions, double-check numbers, names and anything important against the slides or the official record.
Yes. Verli runs in the browser or as a Mac or Windows app and shows a live transcript with the translation under each line, in either direction across 60+ languages. It listens through your microphone in the room or to a livestream on your computer, and the organizer has nothing to set up. There is no Verli phone app yet, so bring a laptop.
A laptop, a free Verli account and an internet connection. Verli sends the audio for transcription and translation while you record, so keep your phone's hotspot as a backup if the venue Wi-Fi is weak. The web app runs in any modern browser, and desktop audio works best in Chrome. The Mac app needs macOS 14.2 or later and comes from the Mac App Store as "Verli Live Translation" or as a direct download. The Windows app comes from the Microsoft Store and needs 64-bit Windows 10 version 2004 or later.
Yes. Choose Desktop audio. The Mac and Windows apps hear everything your computer plays, including livestreams and Zoom, Teams or Google Meet webinars. In the web app, share the browser tab playing the event and turn on Share audio. If the event runs in a separate app, use the Mac or Windows app instead. No bot joins, so the host sees nothing, and the same steps work as a real-time translator for meetings.
Yes, on paid plans in the Mac and Windows apps. Turn on Read aloud and the translation plays through your own speakers or headphones, so wear headphones during a talk. The web app shows text only.
No. Each session translates between two languages, and everyone who opens a share link sees those same two. For a room that needs many languages at once, an event interpretation service or human interpreters fit better.
Yes. You get 60 minutes upon sign-up with no credit card. That is enough to test Verli on one session before the event, not to cover a full conference day.
Share links are on Standard and Premium. The link is live while you record. After you stop, viewers see "This shared transcript is no longer live." The shared data is deleted 24 hours after the session is created. Each new recording gets a new link, so share the new one after a break.
Get 60 minutes upon sign-up with no credit card. Try it on one talk before the event.
