Today, we’re making the Cuckoo desktop app for macOS and Windows generally available. Our desktop app is the easiest and most reliable way to get real-time translation in any meeting.

The easiest way to get real-time translation

You can now bring real-time AI translation directly to your desktop. no need to invite a bot, paste meeting links, or request host approval. Cuckoo runs quietly in the background and starts translating as soon as you speak, so it’s always ready when your meeting begins.

Cuckoo integrates directly with your computer’s audio, so it works across platforms. Once installed, it lives in your dock or system tray, staying out of the way until you need it.

Quality-of-life improvements

The desktop app includes quality-of-life improvements. You’ll get notified when a meeting starts, you can open Cuckoo instantly from the menu bar. You can also use a transparent translation window that overlays on top of any screen.

Just like our web app, Cuckoo will learn your industry and team context, delivering translations that are more accurate and more relevant to how your team actually communicates.
