LiveCap
Live captions and translation that stay on your Mac.
In short
LiveCap listens to system audio, turns it into captions, and can translate in place. The product is built for meetings and videos where a browser tab or cloud transcript is too much.
Product details
- LiveCap captures system audio and runs Whisper on the Mac, so meetings and videos can be captioned without an account or cloud transcript.
- Capsule, strip, panel, and board layouts let captions sit lightly over a video or expand into a reading and review workspace.
- Translation, local transcript history, language controls, and onboarding are built into the same menu-bar app.
Where it landed
The desktop experience is in active testing, with packaging and language quality still being tuned.
