Audio setup
Install Lingolane Audio
To send your interpreted voice into the meeting's microphone, you need Lingolane Audio. You install it once. The Mac version is a free download here; for Windows you download the maker's official file.
Why is it needed?
Meeting tools only send what comes in through the 'microphone'. Lingolane Audio is the path that hands your interpreted voice to the meeting tool as if it were a microphone. Their voice reaches Lingolane through meeting tab sharing.
You → them
- Your interpreted voice
- Lingolane Audio
- The meeting's microphone
Lingolane Audio for Mac is built by modifying the open-source BlackHole driver, and its source code is published under GPL-3.0. On Windows during the beta, you install the VB-CABLE device (meeting microphone CABLE Output, interpreter CABLE Input) under its maker's official terms and use it as Lingolane Audio. Lingolane does not distribute the VB-CABLE installer. In the desktop apps we are preparing Lingolane Audio to install together with the app.
