What you get

You can follow spoken audio with live captions and translations on your Mac.

You get spoken audio turned into readable text while it plays, so you can follow a meeting, video, podcast, or news stream in another language. Transcrybe works with audio from any app or your microphone, letting you read along during Zoom or Teams calls without switching to a different meeting service.

When you present to an international audience, you can overlay live subtitles directly on your presentation so listeners can follow in their own language. With support for more than 20 languages, you can also use it to understand foreign-language talks and demos as they happen.

Your audio stays on your Mac rather than being sent to the cloud for processing. You can caption or translate sensitive conversations without uploading them, and access the app from your menu bar whenever you need it.
