Subtitles provides live, on-device captions for any audio your Mac plays—videos, calls, podcasts, lectures—transcribed locally using the Apple Neural Engine. No audio leaves your machine, ensuring privacy while you multitask with an always-on-top overlay.
Key benefits include:
- Local, private transcription: Runs on-device with Apple Neural Engine, no audio uploaded, recorded, or stored on disk.
- Unobtrusive overlay: Always-on-top, click-through captions that fade under the pointer for unobstructed work; customizable settings for opacity, size, and behavior.
- 16 languages with auto-detection: Supports multilingual audio, automatically detecting language (or select manually), with dedicated English checkpoints for accuracy.
- One-time purchase: $9 (launch week $5 until 22 Aug) with 14-day refund, free future updates, no subscription or account required.
- Universal app support: Captions any app’s audio (Zoom, Teams, browsers, podcasts, videos) by tapping system audio, working with Electron apps and helper processes.
Perfect for anyone needing live captions on their Mac—hard of hearing users, language learners, professionals in meetings, or anyone multitasking while following audio (videos, calls, podcasts).
