Project Overview

mimi is a live subtitle and translation tool for Apple silicon macOS 13+ and Windows x64. Mimi shows live subtitles in a floating window for films, live streams, lessons, and games playing on your computer. Your chosen cloud service transcribes the system audio or translates it into Simplified Chinese, English, or Japanese; available languages and modes depend on the service. The name mimi means "ear" in Japanese.

Key Features

  • Live subtitles and translation: Captures system output audio; source languages, targets, and quality modes vary by provider
  • Service configurations: Save and switch between services without repeatedly entering credentials
  • Subtitle overlay: Move, resize, collapse, pause, enable click-through, or use Immersive Mode
  • In-app updates: Check and install updates in Settings
  • Session export: Opt in under Settings → Session export to retain timestamped transcripts or record system audio, then stop and export TXT / WAV. Both switches are off by default
  • Settings appearance: Light, dark, or follow the system
  • Privacy: No mimi account, microphone, or screen capture; audio goes only to the active provider

Target Audience

  • Users who need real-time subtitle translation
  • Users watching foreign language videos, attending international meetings, or playing games
  • macOS and Windows users
