Cuckoo - Real-Time Translation for Live Meetings

Does Cuckoo work during Zoom calls, or do I need a separate translator app open?

Cuckoo integrates directly into Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, so translation happens within the platform you're already using during the call. There's no separate app to manage or alt-tabbing required; the real-time translation runs automatically once you enable it.

Can Cuckoo learn the technical jargon and product names my team uses?

Yes. Cuckoo learns technical terminology and internal glossaries from documents you upload, so it translates your company's specific terms accurately rather than guessing at product names or industry jargon. This means a sales call about your SaaS platform will stay consistent in meaning across languages.

Which languages does Cuckoo support, and how does it decide which one to translate to?

Cuckoo supports 15+ languages and detects the language being spoken in real-time, then translates automatically. The tool preserves context during translation, so it chooses the right meaning even when words have multiple uses.

If Cuckoo is free, how does it make money or will there be a paid tier later?

Cuckoo is currently free. Y Combinator backed the company, but the pricing page does not indicate whether a paid tier is planned, so check their site if you want clarity on the long-term model before building it into your workflow.
