Translate Google Meet calls with the Gaavala Chrome extension. 69 languages, speaker diarization, privacy-first direct-to-Soniox streaming. No Workspace plan required.
Google Meet has live captions and offers translated captions on specific Google Workspace tiers, but coverage is uneven — translated captions are bundled with Business Standard and above, cover a narrower language set than Gaavala, and do not let you respond in another language through the meeting audio.
Gaavala is a Chrome extension that captures audio from the active Meet tab via Chrome's tabCapture API. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, join your Meet call at meet.google.com, click the Gaavala icon, share the meeting tab's audio, and live captions begin streaming across all 69 Soniox-supported languages. The audio flows directly from your browser to Soniox over an encrypted WebSocket — Gaavala's backend is not in the audio path.
Gaavala currently requires Chrome on desktop. Mobile Chrome does not support tab audio sharing. Use a laptop or desktop for the best experience.
No. Gaavala works with any Google Meet link — personal Gmail, Google Workspace, or guest access.
Gaavala is designed for live, real-time translation. For recorded meetings, you would play the recording in a browser tab and use Gaavala to translate the playback.
No. Gaavala captures audio via Chrome's tab sharing API. It does not interact with the Meet application itself. Other participants cannot detect it.
