What this walkthrough shows

The English demo walks through the exact workflow a mosque or media team needs: create the session from a source link, configure the source language, start streaming transcription, monitor the live control view, and share a public multilingual companion page with the audience.

  • Start by pasting a YouTube URL; the title is fetched automatically and a new podcast companion session is created.
  • Choose the source language or use auto-detect, then start streaming transcription with low latency.
  • Monitor messages, status, connection, capture source, and session details from one live control view.
  • Share the public page so listeners can join and follow the translated podcast in real time, then keep the session archived afterward.

Create a session from a YouTube link in a few clicks

Live

Manage transcription, language, and public access during the session

Once the session is live, the team can monitor transcription, confirm the source language, track connection status, and open the public companion page for listeners around the world.

Podcast Companion is built for more conversational formats — interviews, panels, lectures, and live events. When the session ends, the archive remains available for review, publishing, and later reuse.
