Ask your employer
You work in English. The company can pay for you to follow it.
Trippi costs $6–24 a month — below almost every approval threshold. Here is the letter, and the answers to the questions your manager will ask.

The tool costs less than the meeting it saves.
Most companies have a learning or tooling budget, and a $6–24 monthly line rarely needs more than a manager’s reply. The reason people pay out of their own pocket is not the price — it is that nobody wants to write the email, and nobody knows what security will ask. Both are solved below: a letter you can copy, and the honest answers about audio, transcripts and what leaves your machine.
The letter
Copy, adjust the meetings you actually sit in, and send:
Several of my weekly meetings run in English at native speed, and I lose part of what is said — mostly in <standup / customer calls / architecture reviews>. I would like to expense a tool called Trippi: it is a browser extension that puts live translated subtitles over the meeting, so I can follow it in real time and re-read the transcript afterwards.
It costs $6 a month for 10 hours, $12 for 25 hours or $24 for 70 hours, billed monthly and cancellable any time. Nothing is installed on the company side, no bot joins our calls, and the meeting transcript stays in my browser rather than on their servers.
Could you approve it, or tell me which budget it should go to?
The questions your manager or security will ask
- Does a bot join our meetings? No. Nothing appears in the participant list and nothing is announced — the subtitles are drawn in one person’s browser.
- Is our audio recorded? No. Audio is relayed to Trippi’s own server, turned into captions and dropped. It is not stored and not sold — see the privacy policy.
- Where does the transcript live? In the employee’s browser, on their own machine. Trippi does not receive it and cannot read it. A summary is built only when the person presses the button.
- Do we need IT to install it? Only if your company manages Chrome or Edge centrally and blocks extensions by policy — then an admin allows this one extension, and nothing else changes.
- Is there a receipt? Payment goes through Paddle, which emails a receipt for every charge; that is what goes into the expense report.
What to expect if you ask for a team
There is no team plan today: each person subscribes for themselves, and that is the honest answer to give rather than promising a seat count. For a small team that is usually simpler anyway — one line per person on an expense report beats a procurement cycle.
If a whole team needs it, say so at contact. A pooled plan is on the list, and knowing who is waiting for it is what decides when it gets built.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost per person?+
$6 a month for 10 hours, $12 for 25 hours, $24 for 70 hours. There is also a free tier of 20 minutes a month, which is enough to test it on real meetings before asking anyone.
Is there a team or company plan?+
Not yet — everyone subscribes individually. If you need a pooled plan, tell us at contact; that demand is what schedules it.
Will the company see my meeting transcripts?+
Nobody sees them, including us. The transcript is stored in your browser on your machine, and it is exported only if you export it.
Do our meetings have to move to the browser?+
The meeting has to be open in a browser tab — Google Meet, Zoom on the web, Teams on the web. The desktop apps are out of reach for a browser extension.
Can I cancel if the team stops using it?+
Yes, in one click, and the subscription is monthly — there is no annual commitment to explain to anyone.
