About Sotto

Last updated 28 September 2026

Sotto turns the conversation around you into live subtitles, and translates what is said in another language.

Why it exists

It started at Ukrainian family dinners: a table full of people talking, and one person following only half of it. Translation apps wanted two people to take turns and pass a phone. Nothing just listened along.

Sotto listens along. It sits on the table, hears the room, and shows what is being said in the language you read, as it happens.

Who makes it

David, one person who builds it and reads every message. Reach him at david@thesotto.app.

What it is not yet

Noisy rooms with many voices are genuinely hard. Sotto does its best and tells you honestly when it lost the thread.
