A Ukrainian created an audio player that transcribes and translates audiobooks right while you listen
The app can be useful for those who have difficulty understanding foreign audiobooks by ear. It converts audio to text in real time and also translates.

"The idea came to me when I was trying to listen to French audiobooks. I could read French more or less normally, but understanding spoken language was much more difficult. So I thought it would be useful to have automatic transcription, as well as the ability to immediately translate individual words and phrases," developer Oleksandr Bolyachiy said on Reddit.
In addition to the main idea, the author of the application believes that it "can be useful for people who have hearing problems. The read-along function also helps to better focus on the content."
The Libly application reads in Ukrainian and 30 other languages. It also allows you to translate the decoded text into over 70 languages.
This is currently an open beta, so the developer is waiting for feedback from people who listen to audiobooks.
