Mac
Real-time speech to bilingual captions, right in your menu bar. On-device transcription and translation by default: private, offline, and nothing leaves your Mac.
GlossOne turns live speech into instant, bilingual captions, right from your menu bar. Whether it's a meeting, a lecture, a video, or a voice memo, GlossOne listens, transcribes, and translates in real time, on your Mac by default.
On-device by default.
Speech recognition runs locally on your Mac, and translation can run fully offline with Apple's built-in engine, or with Apple Intelligence on macOS 26. No internet required, and nothing leaves your Mac. Switch on Local-Only mode to guarantee it. Want an extra boost? Connect today's leading large language models and translation engines instead.
Capture any sound.
• Transcribe your microphone for talks, dictation, and notes
• Transcribe your Mac's system audio, or a single app
• Capture both at once and label who said what
• Show floating, always-on-top captions over any video call
Made for multilingual meetings.
Tell GlossOne which languages might come up and it routes every line to the right translation instead of guessing. Pin the spoken language when you already know it, or leave it automatic and switch in a click from the menu bar.
More than a transcript.
Get live bilingual subtitles in a beautiful glass overlay, generate AI meeting notes (requires a connected AI service), transcribe existing audio and video files, and export to SRT, VTT, TXT, or Markdown. Bookmark the moments worth keeping, search the transcript as it grows, and pause the session when you step away instead of cutting it in two. Every session is saved to a searchable history, with optional audio recording you can replay.
Built for privacy.
GlossOne runs fully sandboxed and collects no analytics. With on-device recognition and translation, your audio and text can stay entirely on your Mac. API keys for optional cloud services are stored safely in the Keychain, never in plain text.
Make it yours.
Pick your languages, choose where captions appear, customize the look, and assign global shortcuts to start, stop, pause, and toggle captions without ever leaving your meeting. GlossOne is available in 13 languages.
Try it free for 7 days. Unlock the app for good with a single one-time purchase.
