SOOP streams
Translate a SOOP stream as it happens
Translated subtitles over a SOOP broadcast in your browser, in 68 languages. Nothing is posted to the chat and the streamer is not notified.
Free to start · Works in your browser · Your audio stays private
SOOP translates the chat for everyone. The streamer’s voice, only on official broadcasts.
SOOP, the platform formerly called AfreecaTV, has gone further than most on translation: chat is translated automatically, without anyone pressing anything, and official broadcasts — esports tournaments, staged events — get AI speech-to-text with translation into several languages. The gap is everything else. On an ordinary streamer’s channel, the place where the audience actually spends its evenings, the speech is not captioned at all, and no setting on your side changes that.
Made for everyday channels, not only official broadcasts
The tournaments are the streams most likely to get an official translation and least likely to need one, because esports is watchable through the game itself. The channels that are hard to follow are the ones where somebody talks for four hours — and those are exactly the ones the AI captions do not cover.
Trippi does not distinguish between them. It captures the tab audio, so an official event and a personal broadcast get the same treatment, in whichever of 68 languages you picked.
The chat is translated, the speech is not
Having the chat arrive in your language while the person speaking stays incomprehensible is a peculiar experience: you can read the audience reacting to something you did not catch. Adding speech subtitles closes the loop, and the two do not conflict, because Trippi listens to the audio and never touches the chat panel.
The recognised original can stay above the translation, which is worth keeping on when a streamer is reading Korean usernames out loud.

Frequently asked questions
Does SOOP translate what the streamer says?+
On official broadcasts such as esports tournaments it applies AI speech-to-text with translation into a few languages. On an ordinary streamer’s channel the speech is not captioned.
Is it the same as AfreecaTV?+
Yes. AfreecaTV was renamed SOOP, and its global and Korean platforms were merged in early 2026.
Will the chat see the subtitles?+
No. They are drawn only in your browser, and nothing is posted to the chat.
Does it work on a VOD as well as a live?+
Yes, as long as it plays in a browser tab. Trippi translates what the tab is playing, live or recorded.
How do I translate a SOOP stream into my language?+
Open the stream in a browser tab, click the Trippi icon and press Start captions. You pick the language you hear — Korean, most of the time — and the language you read: English, German, Russian or any other of the 68. The subtitles run under the stream while it plays, on any channel, not only on official broadcasts.
What does it cost?+
You can start for free, without an account. Paid plans start at $6 a month for 10 hours — see pricing.
