Closed Captioner - Real-Time Speech to Text
Transform spoken words into large, readable captions instantly. Built for accessibility, presentations, quiet environments, and everyday use.
FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND USE
The app is free to download. New installs enjoy 30 days with no banner or interstitial ads. After that, optional ads help keep the app free, or remove them forever with a one-time $0.99 Remove Ads purchase. No subscription.
FEATURES
• Real-time English (en-US) speech recognition with a large, readable caption canvas
• 30-day ad-free welcome for new users (Settings → Purchases appears after the grace period unless you already own Remove Ads)
• Day and Night appearance plus six themes: Grove, Harbor, Ember, Ink, Dusk, and Stealth
• Fonts: System, New York, Avenir Next, Futura, Rounded
• Gossip nearby sharing: send captions over Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi; incoming messages stay in a log strip, never the main caption
• Gossip rooms: Room, Random, Whisper, and Help. A random display handle is assigned so your phone name is not shown
• Optional message relay so captions can hop farther while Gossip is on
• Edit with the keyboard, clear with Poof, and revisit Captions history in Activity
• Optional emoji suggestions after speech settles (off by default)
• KPIs for app and device performance, plus Gossip traffic stats
• Optional Remove Ads (non-consumable) to hide all banner and interstitial ads after the welcome period or anytime after purchase
PRIVACY
Speech is processed by Apple Speech. Caption history stays on your device. Gossip uses the local network only. Ads are served by Google AdMob when ads are shown and you have not purchased Remove Ads. See our Privacy Policy for details.
No account required.
