Desktop app · Microsoft Teams
Follow every Teams call in your language.
Fishu for desktop gives you live translated subtitles of everyone in a Microsoft Teams meeting, and an interpreter voice if you would rather listen. It works even as a guest.
Windows 10 or 11, macOS 14.2+, and Linux. Free to start: 1 hour a month, no card needed.
Made for the calls you don't control.
A customer's weekly sync, a supplier's project review, a partner's all-hands: in many Teams meetings you are the guest, and you can't change how the meeting is set up. Fishu doesn't need to. Only you install it, and no bot joins the call.
It listens to your computer's audio, the same sound you hear, and puts each speaker's words in your language as they talk. That works in the Teams app and in Teams in a browser, in your own organization's meetings and in everyone else's.
Read it, hear it, keep it.
Subtitles on top
A small subtitle window stays on top of every app, so it stays visible over Teams while you look at a shared screen, a document or your notes.
An interpreter in your ear
Hear the meeting in your language with the speakers' voices turned down underneath. Your computer's own voice is free; the natural voice sounds like a person and uses hours three times as fast.
A transcript that stays yours
Every meeting is kept in both languages, with who said what, on your own computer. Rename Speaker 1 to the real name once and it sticks. Ask for a short summary with decisions and to-dos.
Getting started.
Nothing to install in Teams, and nothing for the organizer to approve.
- Download Fishu for desktop for Windows, Mac or Linux. Until the apps are signed, Windows may ask you to choose More info › Run anyway; the help page has the details.
- Choose your language, the one you want to read and hear the meeting in.
- Join the Teams meeting. Subtitles appear in your language as people speak.
- Turn on the interpreter when you'd rather listen. Headphones work best.
Speaking back in their language.
In Teams, Fishu helps you follow everyone else today; sending your own words into Teams, translated, comes next. In Google Meet the Chrome extension already works both ways.
The same app covers Zoom, Slack, Webex and any app that plays sound. One plan, one set of hours: see pricing, or Teams plans for your whole team.
Teams questions.
Does my company's IT need to enable anything in Teams?
No. Fishu runs on your own computer and listens to the same sound you hear, so nothing changes in Microsoft Teams and nobody else has to change a thing.
Does it work when I join another company's Teams meeting as a guest?
Yes. Because Fishu follows your computer's audio rather than joining the meeting, it works the same whether you organize the call or join as a guest.
Does a bot join the Teams call?
No. Nobody sees an extra participant, and there is no meeting bot to admit from the lobby.
Can the others hear me in their language in Teams?
Not yet. Sending your voice into desktop meeting apps comes next. Today that works in Google Meet, with the Chrome extension on the Pro plan.
Does it work with Teams in a browser?
Yes. Fishu for desktop follows any app that plays sound, so the Teams app and Teams in a browser both work.
Where are my transcripts kept?
In the desktop app, on your own computer. Audio is streamed for translation while Fishu is on and isn't stored on our servers.
