Free (With Signup) Pixelion Captions 0.1.2

Pixelion Captions adds live transcription and translation captions to OBS Studio. It listens to your OBS program mix and displays captions in a source you can position and style anywhere in your scene. It is useful for streamers and creators who want on-screen captions in their own language or translated captions for a wider audience.


Features

• Live transcription of your OBS program audio into on-screen captions
• Optional translation to another language (requires a Pixelion Pro plan)
• A caption source you can move, resize, and style (font, color, size, background, alignment, padding)
• A dock for sign-in, session controls, caption styling, and transcript history
• Save transcripts locally and browse previous sessions
• Export transcripts, and optionally save them to your Pixelion Library
• Remembers your speech and translation language selections between sessions
• Optional start and stop together with streaming or recording

Installation

1. Close OBS Studio.
2. Download the Windows x64 ZIP from the releases page. Choose the plugin package, not the source ZIP.

AI Disclaimer: AI coding assistants were used for parts of this project, mainly to speed up routine work such as drafting boilerplate, reformatting, and suggesting fixes. The plugin was not written entirely or in large part by AI. Its design, the core transcription, translation, audio, and session logic, and the integration with Pixelion's services were written and reviewed by human developers at Pixel Solutions, who are responsible for the released code. It was also tested by people in OBS Studio before release and believed to be safe and functional.
