Beyond Video Calls

Private one to one video calling with live translation in both directions. The listening, the translating and the speaking all happen on your own machine, walled off from the rest of it. The person you called needs nothing but a browser.

Requirements

  • Windows 11 (host)
  • Any modern browser (guest)

Installing

See Installing a Beyond application for what the installer does and where it puts things. Your computer checks the download for you, and that page also shows how to check it yourself if you would rather.

Features

Live translation, both directions

Each side speaks normally and hears the other in their own language, during the call rather than after it.

Languages are added, not rebuilt

Each language is a separate piece that plugs in, rather than something wired into the application. A new one arrives once it has been tested properly, with nothing to rebuild and no single pair locked in.

The AI runs on your machine

The listening, the translating and the speaking all happen on your own graphics card, walled off from the rest of the machine, and never through somebody else’s service.

Guests need nothing

The far side joins from a browser. No install, no account, no GPU of their own.

The very large download

The full package is roughly 19 GB. It is the reason this site was built so a download resumes where it stopped and an update only fetches the part that changed.

Known limits

  • Private beta. Language testing and a live two person call are both still unproven.
  • A language pair is only offered once it has been tested properly. English and Turkish are first, and others follow.
  • The part that does the translating is never reachable from the internet, on purpose.

Licensing

Beyond Video Calls uses the standard Beyond licence: checked on your own machine, with your devices managed by you. See Licences and activation.
