## What is Captions & Text to Speech?

Communication should be effortless, private, and limitless.
CapType is a communication utility for the Deaf, hard of hearing, and non-verbal community—built to support confident face-to-face interactions.

SEE SPEECH. TYPE BIG.
CapType turns your device into a powerful communication hub. Use high-precision live captions to see speech in real time, then respond with jumbo, high-visibility text. It’s a fast, reliable way to communicate in noisy restaurants, doctor appointments, or everyday checkouts.

LIFETIME ACCESS. ONE-TIME PURCHASE.
CapType is unlocked with a single, one-time lifetime purchase. No subscriptions, no timers, no recurring fees—pay once and use it for as long as you need.

WHAT YOU UNLOCK WITH LIFETIME ACCESS:
* Unlimited Conversations: No daily limits. No 10-minute caps. Communicate freely without interruptions.
* 100% Offline AI: Speech is processed entirely on-device. Works without internet—ideal for airplanes, subways, and remote locations.
* Total Privacy (Ephemeral): Conversations are never stored, recorded, or uploaded. Once a session ends, the text disappears forever.

OPTIMIZED FOR REAL LIFE:
* Long-Range Audio: Optimized to capture speech clearly from across a table (up to 2 meters).
* High Contrast Display: Designed for maximum readability in any lighting condition.
* Zero-Latency Transcription: Instant captions for natural, fluid conversations.

CapType is a tool you own—not a service that rents your access.
