Product basics

What can Live Translate do?
Real-time interpretation (Cantonese / English / Mandarin + 92 languages), offline audio file transcription, AI-generated meeting minutes + chapters + emotional insights, AI-drafted follow-up emails. PDF document translation that keeps the original layout (you get a translated-only and a bilingual side-by-side version). Plus a browser extension (bilingual web translation + YouTube/Netflix/Bilibili/iQiyi/Tencent Video subtitle translation + click-to-translate). In one line: turn your meetings from "listening" into "structured records you can revisit".
How is it different from iFlytek / Tongyi Tingwu / Netease Sight?
We focus on Cantonese-English-Mandarin business scenarios. Translation quality on Cantonese business terminology beats the big players (terms like Premis, private rack, 頭先 — which competitors get wrong — we handle correctly). Sub-second latency. Pricing is roughly 1/10 of iFlytek's simultaneous interpretation service.
How accurate is the recognition?
In a quiet environment, Mandarin reaches 95%+ accuracy. Mixed Cantonese-English business speech reaches 90%+. Environmental noise, heavy accents, and fast speech can reduce accuracy. Using a microphone usually adds 5-10% accuracy.
Which languages can be auto-detected?
Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese — 8 mainstream languages can be set to "Auto-detect". The detected language is then translated in real time to the target language.

Pricing & payment

How is pricing structured?
Per-minute. 1 credit ≈ 1 minute of real-time translation. New users get 60 credits free on signup. Packs: Trial (¥10 / 60 min), Standard (¥100 / 600 min), Pro (¥300 / 6000 min — 70% off).
Does pause cost credits?
No. Only actual recording time is charged. Paused time does not count. Credits are deducted at meeting end based on cumulative active duration.
How are file transcriptions priced?
Upload an audio file and it's charged by actual audio duration, same per-minute rate as real-time. The page shows "Approx N credits" before upload so you can estimate.
How is PDF document translation charged?
1 credit per page, drawn from the same credit balance as interpretation. Charged only when the translation completes — failures cost nothing. The page count and estimated cost are shown right after upload.
Do credits expire?
No, credits are valid forever once purchased.
What payment methods are supported?
Alipay with instant credit. WeChat Pay coming soon.
Can I get an invoice?
Yes. For orders over ¥500, electronic invoices are supported. Email live@oriji.ai with your invoice info — sent to your inbox within 3 business days.
Can I get a refund?
For unconsumed credits with valid disputes (e.g. system fault, double-charge), we will compensate the equivalent amount upon verification. Consumed credits are non-refundable. See Terms section 5.

Recording & privacy

Where are my meeting recordings stored?
Alibaba Cloud OSS. Only your account can access them. Auto-deleted after at most 7 days.
How long are transcripts kept?
Permanently in your account. You can delete individual meetings anytime in the meeting detail page; this also clears the OSS audio.
Will my content be used to train AI models?
No. We process data only to deliver the Service. De-identified statistics (with personal info removed) may be used for quality analysis. You can opt out via live@oriji.ai.
Do I need to inform participants when recording?
Yes. Please ensure you have legal authorization from all participants. Liability for unauthorized recording is yours. See Privacy Policy.
Can I delete my account completely?
Yes. Email live@oriji.ai to request account deletion. All associated data is removed within 30 days.

Usage scenarios

Can I use it offline?
No. Speech recognition and translation run on cloud models and require a stable network. Wi-Fi or 4G+ recommended.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Open the web app in WeChat / Safari / Chrome — mobile UI is fully supported. No App download required.
Can multiple people watch at the same time?
Yes. Click "Share" on the recording page to generate a link with optional password and expiry. Recipients don't need to register — just scan or open the link.
Can it tell who said what?
Speaker diarization is not supported in the current version. You can use "Mark this moment" to add notes at key points. Speaker separation is in development.
What happens if my network drops mid-meeting?
The frontend auto-reconnects (exponential backoff 1/2/4/8 sec, up to 4 retries). The backend ASR link also retries up to 5 times. Already-translated content is not lost.
Which video sites does the browser extension support?
YouTube, Netflix, Bilibili, iQiyi, Tencent Video. The extension auto-detects original subtitles and overlays bilingual translation in real time. Works on Chrome / Edge / Brave / any Chromium browser. Install from Chrome Web Store, or download .zip from the homepage and load manually.

Terminology & customization

My specialized terms keep getting mistranslated. What can I do?
Build your glossary (source → target word pairs) under "Glossary" and bind it when creating a meeting. Terms like Premis, Oracle, West Kowloon, BOC will follow your defined translations.
What about one-off names just for this meeting?
When creating a meeting, fill the "Quick terms" field (comma- or newline-separated). Recognition accuracy improves by 20%, latency unchanged. Terms expire when the meeting ends.
Can I tell the AI the meeting context?
Yes. Fill "Meeting topic" with one sentence (e.g. "Technical discussion with client about vector DB solutions") and the AI biases recognition and translation accordingly.
