Frequently Asked Questions

Breeze Translate is designed to work on a range of devices, from computers, to laptops, tablets and phones. The minimum requirement is a device that runs a modern web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox etc) and an has audio input — no high spec computer is required!

Absolutely! There are a couple of considerations, but this setup is widely used in churches using Breeze Translate as their live translation software.

Shared Audio Interface

Macs and Linux computers usually happily share audio interfaces with a number of applications, meaning you can record or live stream you audio as well as using Breeze Translate. The situation is a little more varied with Windows computers, and is often a case of either using a Mulit-client ASIO driver. An alternative is to use the computer's native audio input for Breeze — it doesn't need to be the highest quality as long as it's clear and undistorted — and this keeps the high quality audio for your live stream.

Computer speed and live-streaming

If you have an older computer, or have a demanding live-streaming or presentation setup, adding Breeze Translate into the mix could in theory nudge the computer over the edge. Breeze's demands on your system are very small by modern standards, so this is highly unlikely to be the case. You can always try it on your free trial and see how you get on!

Breeze is very light on bandwidth. It uses a compressed audio stream which usually uses around 100MB per hour or so. As such it can happily run on a reliable mobile data connection or low speed wifi, and it if you're already live streaming to YouTube or similar you will barely notice the difference in your internet usage.
