Use tool ↗About Sigmise
Sigmise is a Mac and Windows desktop app that translates English meetings into 31 languages in real time. It captures audio directly from the device rather than joining a call as a visible bot participant, then transcribes, translates, and produces an AI summary with speaker identification afterward. It targets non-native English speakers who have trouble following meetings on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, webinars, and lectures. The free plan covers 120 minutes a month; no company name or headquarters location is disclosed beyond a support email and terms governed by Australian law.

Pros & cons of Sigmise
Sigmise is aimed squarely at non-native English speakers sitting in English-language meetings, translating what's said into their language as it happens rather than only after the fact. Capturing audio locally without a bot joining the call is a real point of difference from meeting-bot competitors, but it also means it only works on a device where the desktop app is installed and running.
Pros
- No bot joins the call — audio capture happens locally on the device
- Translates into 31 languages, not just one or two
- Free plan is usable on its own (120 minutes/month) before paying
- Produces AI summaries with speaker identification, not just a transcript
Cons
- Desktop-only (Mac and Windows); no mobile or browser-based option
- Source language appears limited to English
- No company name or headquarters disclosed beyond Australian-law terms
Best for
- Non-native English speakers attending English meetings regularly
- Teams who don't want a visible bot participant joining their calls
- Anyone needing meeting summaries with speaker identification
Not for
- Users who need translation for languages other than English as the source
- Anyone wanting a browser-only or mobile solution rather than a desktop install
Watch out: System-audio capture on Mac requires macOS 14.2 or later — older macOS versions may not get full functionality.
