## What is duna?

duna turns speech into text as people talk. Put your iPhone or Mac nearby, tap (or click) the screen and read.

MADE FOR READING
• Text rolls up line by line and holds still: words you have already read do not move.
• Punctuation, capitals and numbers as digits, added as people speak.
• When a different person starts speaking, a new paragraph usually begins.
• Large type you can resize, and four typefaces, two of them designed for low vision (Atkinson Hyperlegible).
• Light and dark mode.

PRIVATE, FOR REAL
• Everything happens on your iPhone or Mac. No audio or text is sent anywhere.
• After a one-time language download, it works offline, in Airplane Mode too.
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Free.

MORE THAN LIVE
• Make subtitles for a video or recording you already have: duna writes an .srt file on the device.
• Correct the subtitles line by line in an editor, then export the video with the captions burnt in (on iPhone it goes straight to Photos).
• Every transcription you stop is kept in a folder, where you can rename, edit and export it.
• Add names and terms to the vocabulary so they are recognised better.
• Export the transcript as text, Markdown or .srt subtitles.
• Share a video to duna from Photos, Files or any app to make its subtitles.
• Shortcuts actions, and a Control Center button on iPhone.

LANGUAGES
• English, Spanish, Catalan, Galician and Basque. Galician and Basque are the newest and make more mistakes.
• The app stays small: pick a language and download it once (120–195 MB).
• The app itself speaks all five languages.

duna is an automatic transcription and can make mistakes. It is not a hearing aid and does not replace professional captioning.
