Useful to know

Is VRCLT free?

The app is open source under the MIT license. Translation uses your own provider API key, and that provider may charge for usage. Check its rates and balance before starting.

Do I need a VR headset?

No. You can use voice translation and desktop subtitles on Windows without a headset. SteamVR is needed for the VR overlays and wrist menu.

Where does my audio go?

The app sends audio to the translation provider you select. Your API key and settings are saved locally on your PC. Read the selected provider's data policies before use.
