## What is Captivox?

Captivox brings audio descriptions (AD) and closed captions (CC) to any screen — your TV, cinema, or a friend's device.

Before your viewing session, download the AD or CC track for the content you want to watch. Then open the app, press Start Listening, and Captivox will sync your downloaded track to what's playing using acoustic fingerprinting — no Bluetooth, no HDMI, no special hardware needed.

Features:
• Automatic sync in under 2 seconds
• Audio descriptions for blind and low-vision users
• Closed captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing users
• Works offline after content is downloaded
• Full VoiceOver and TalkBack accessibility support
• Haptic feedback throughout the interface

Captivox works with content from participating providers. Download the track in advance and enjoy fully accessible viewing anywhere.
