Parababel 旁置巴别塔Beside, not instead
Para- means “alongside”. The original voice stays; a translated voice runs next to it. You set the balance between them.

Why “Parababel”
Streaming by design
Audio moves through the pipeline in 100 ms slices. Translation starts while the speaker is still mid-sentence — nothing waits for the whole clip.
Two layers of meaning
Hear the translation and read both languages on screen at once, so nuance survives the trip.
From their voice to yours, in four steps.
- 01
Listen
Captures only the tab you are watching — nothing else.
- 02
Stream
Audio flows in 100 ms slices. No waiting for the clip to end.
- 03
Translate
Speech is recognized, translated and voiced while it is spoken.
- 04
Play alongside
Your language plays next to the original, locked to the video's timeline.
