Captionify
Live Transcription & Translate
Free
New: on-device Agent mode, a build-your-own Custom Pipeline (beta), and a smarter Interpreter conversation mode.
Captionify turns speech into text in real time, entirely on your
device. Transcribe meetings, lectures, and conversations. Translate
across languages instantly. No subscription. No account. Nothing
sent to the cloud.
REAL-TIME TRANSCRIPTION
Using on-device AI, Captionify converts spoken words to text the
moment they're said — no internet connection required. Ideal for
lectures, meetings, interviews, and noisy environments where you
can't afford to miss a word.
LIVE TRANSLATION
Understand any language as it's spoken. Captionify translates
speech in real time so you can follow along in any conversation,
anywhere in the world.
FACE-TO-FACE CONVERSATION MODE
Talking with someone who speaks a different language?
Face-to-Face mode lets two people hold a natural bilingual
conversation on a single device — one speaks, the other reads,
then you swap. No interpreter. No awkward pauses.
AGENT MODE
Talk to an on-device AI assistant that can use tools, connect to
your own MCP servers, and remember saved chats — all without
sending anything to the cloud.
CUSTOM PIPELINE (BETA)
Mix and match independent transcription, translation, and voice
engines — on-device or your own custom endpoint — to build a live
pipeline that's entirely your own.
AI SUMMARIES
Powered by Apple Intelligence, Captionify distills long transcripts
into the key points that matter. Everything runs on-device — your
words never leave your phone.
APPLE WATCH SUPPORT
See live captions on your wrist and control recording remotely.
Keep your phone in your pocket while staying connected to every
word.
SAVE & SEARCH YOUR TRANSCRIPTS
Every session can be saved and searched later. Build a personal
library of transcripts — no cloud storage, no account, no limits.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Captionify uses Apple's on-device AI for all processing. Your
voice and your transcripts stay on your device always.
100% FREE
No subscription. No paywall. No account required.
Every feature, available from the moment you open the app.
