BeamTake transcribes Portuguese speech, translates it into English subtitles and burns them into the video. The audio stays the same, so the speaker keeps their own voice; only the text on screen changes.

Speech is transcribed with word-level timing.
Subtitles are translated and their timings rebalanced for the target language.
English subtitles are rendered into the video, and .srt files in both languages download too.
Brazilian and European Portuguese sound clearly different. Nasal vowels (ã, õ) written wrong change the meaning of a word; read the output once.
Even pronoun use differs between Brazilian and European Portuguese; if the target country is known, read the captions with it in mind.
Most Portuguese content online comes from Brazil. Portugal, Angola and Mozambique benefit from the same captions, but pronunciation and vocabulary differ noticeably.
Translation follows the flow of speech, not word by word: a Portuguese sentence can come out longer or shorter in English, so subtitle timings are rebalanced. Names and brand names get spelled by ear; downloading the transcript and fixing them is the fastest route.
Line breaks follow the target language: 32–38 characters per line reads comfortably. Both languages read in the same direction, so alignment needs no extra work.
English captions open content up to the global feed. Most viewers whose first language isn't English still follow English captions easily, so it's usually the first extra language to add.

We don't generate synthetic voices. The speaker's own voice and intonation stay, and viewers read the text. For interviews, lectures, podcasts and other speech-heavy content, that's more honest than imitating a voice, and causes fewer problems in practice.
No. The audio stays as it is and the translation goes out as subtitles, so the speaker's voice and tone are preserved.
Even pronoun use differs between Brazilian and European Portuguese; if the target country is known, read the captions with it in mind.
Yes. Names and brand names get spelled by ear; downloading the transcript and fixing them is the fastest route.
