Step-by-step help with HoloTalk. Each page names the buttons as the app shows them, in your language.
Help pages
- Start a live sessionCreate a HoloTalk session, choose its languages and attendees, and start live captions from the speaker's laptop or phone.
- Join a session as an attendeeScan the QR code or type the join code, choose your caption language and read the captions on your phone. No app and no account.
- Show captions on a projector or big screenOpen HoloTalk's projector view, choose its languages and where the captions sit on the screen, or show captions on the speaker's own laptop.
- Captions over your slides or in a live streamFloat HoloTalk's captions in a small window above your slides, or lay them over a live stream with a transparent overlay for OBS or vMix.
- Get names and terms right with a glossaryAdd speakers' names, organisations, places, awards and specialist terms to a HoloTalk session's glossary, or have them proposed from your programme.
- Use more than one spoken languageSet up a HoloTalk session where speakers use up to 3 languages, and see how sentences are shown and translated.
- Private sessionsMake a HoloTalk session private: only the people you invite by email can join, each with their own link, and the projector gets its own link.
- Summaries and follow-up questionsRead a HoloTalk session's summary and transcript after it ends, ask follow-up questions about what was said, and get the summary in other languages.
- Download the transcript, summary and subtitlesDownload what an ended HoloTalk session holds: the summary and transcript as Markdown or text, and subtitles as SRT or WebVTT, also bilingual.
- Transcribe and summarise a recordingUpload an audio or video recording to HoloTalk to get its transcript, translations and summary, with speaker labels if you want them.
- Credits, plans and receiptsHow HoloTalk charges credits, what happens when they run low, buying credit packs and plans, receipts, cancelling a plan and redeeming a gift card.
- Before a large eventA checklist for using HoloTalk at a conference or large event: credits, places, the venue's network, the speaker's device, the glossary and the audience notice.
