Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about LiveSuggest.
How does LiveSuggest capture audio?
LiveSuggest captures audio via your device's microphone. On PC, you can also use screen sharing with audio to capture sound from another browser tab. The service works with your existing video conferencing tools without requiring any additional software in the meeting.
Is my audio data secure?
Yes. Audio is not stored by LiveSuggest. It is streamed in real time to our EU-hosted transcription provider, Gladia, and the transcription job is deleted when the session ends. For signed-in users, the transcript and session report are kept for your plan's retention period and can be deleted at any time.
What languages are supported?
LiveSuggest supports 12 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, and Turkish.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation required. LiveSuggest works directly in your web browser.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! You get 5 minutes without an account. Create a free account and 30 more minutes are added, no credit card needed. Subscription plans are there when you need more time.
Can other meeting participants see that I'm using LiveSuggest?
LiveSuggest runs in your browser and doesn't join the meeting as a bot or visible participant. It works alongside your existing video conferencing tools without disrupting the meeting flow.
Does LiveSuggest work on mobile devices?
Yes, LiveSuggest works on mobile browsers. For the best experience with screen sharing features, we recommend using a desktop or laptop computer.
Which video conferencing platforms are compatible?
LiveSuggest works with any platform that runs in your browser or allows screen sharing with audio, including Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and others. No plugins or integrations required.
How does LiveSuggest work without joining my call as a bot?
LiveSuggest captures audio directly from your device, either through your microphone or by sharing a browser tab's audio. No bot ever joins your meeting, and other participants won't see any AI tool in the participant list.
Is real-time processing as accurate as recording and transcribing after the meeting?
Yes. LiveSuggest uses advanced speech-to-text models for real-time transcription. The difference is that your audio is streamed and not stored by LiveSuggest: no audio file is ever created. Same accuracy, stronger privacy.
Will real-time suggestions distract me during meetings?
Not at all. Suggestions appear in a separate window or tab. You control when and how to look at them, designed to support your participation without interrupting it.
