## What is Caption Radio?

Caption Radio lets you listen to live radio from around the world with real-time captions and translation on your iPhone.

Browse stations, start listening, and turn on captions when you want to read along. Caption Radio transcribes speech on device and can translate captions into 19 languages, so news, talk, sports, interviews, and local broadcasts are easier to follow.

Features:
• Live radio stations from around the world
• On-device live captions
• Translation into 19 languages
• Caption language picker with source-language override
• Favorites for quick access to your stations
• Audio clip recording up to 5 minutes
• Clip transcripts with original and translated text
• Sleep timer built into the player
• Searchable station browser with country, language, and genre filters
• Bilingual app interface in English and French

Caption Radio is designed for privacy. Speech recognition runs on your iPhone, and audio does not leave your device. Recordings and transcripts stay on your device.

Captions and translations are generated automatically and may contain errors, especially with overlapping speakers, music, accents, jargon, or proper names. Do not rely on captions for safety-critical information.

A subscription is required to use Caption Radio after the free trial.
