01

Capture as it happens

Live transcription keeps pace with a lecture, interview, or passing thought — even without a network connection.

02

Understand across languages

Read bilingual captions in real time, then re-transcribe with an on-device model when you want more detail.

03

Return to what matters

Turn long recordings into structured notes, action items, and searchable moments without replaying everything.

Real capability · On device

The right engine, live and offline.

Live captions and saved-recording transcription use different on-device engines. Availability depends on language, device, region, and downloaded models.
