Youyi is designed for live voice situations rather than simple offline text translation.
Typical use cases include:
- hearing others clearly but not understanding fast enough to respond
- talking with overseas players without forcing live foreign-language speaking
- typing first and letting the software speak for you
- switching back to your original voice for quick direct replies
- translating incoming voice from a selected app or live source
- combining subtitles, speech relay, routing, and bidirectional workflows in one tool
The current Steam build is designed so players can open the app and start with the built-in translation experience right away. ?
For the core Steam experience, no separate third-party service setup is required before getting started.
