Native macOS app

Caption your talk.
Live, in every language.

Le Caption listens to your microphone and turns what you say into live, translated subtitles on screen. Everyone in the room follows along, whatever language they speak.

Requires macOS · Apple Silicon & Intel · Free to try

Three steps. No setup.

Pick your microphone and your languages. Everything runs on your Mac, in real time.

1
Pick mic & languages

Choose your microphone, the language you speak, and the language to show your audience.
2
Start speaking

Present as you normally would. Le Caption captures your voice from the mic and translates it as you go.
3
Show the overlay

Captions appear in an always-on-top overlay you can send to a projector or second screen, controlled from the menu bar.

For speakers

Give your talk. Everyone reads along in their language.

Run Le Caption while you present and your words become live captions on screen, translated as you speak. The whole room follows along, so your talk lands the same whether you're on stage at home or in another country.

Guaranteed accessibility. Every attendee can read what you say, including anyone hard of hearing.
Built for different regions. Present the same talk anywhere; the audience reads it in the language they understand.
You bring the captions. No venue A/V, no booked interpreters, no special hardware. It runs on your Mac and its microphone.

Made for anyone with a room to address.

If you speak to an audience that doesn't all share your language, Le Caption is for you.
