Agora launches real-time translation API for live video captions
Agora has launched a real-time speech-to-text translation API designed to provide live multilingual captions and transcripts. This API is available for voice, video, and streaming applications, aiming to break language barriers in communication.
Key Takeaways
- Agora’s new Real-Time Translation API provides live multilingual captions and transcripts.
- The API is designed for voice communication, video communication, and streaming applications.
- The product is explicitly positioned to break language barriers in real-time communication.
Why It Matters

That matters because language support is a practical feature gap in many communication workflows, and Agora is packaging it as an API rather than a standalone tool. The key signal to watch next is where the API is adopted first: voice apps, video apps, or streaming applications, since the product is designed for all three.
