## What is Mic Captions?

Mic Captions turns speech into live, readable captions — right on your device.

Follow lectures, meetings, conversations, and videos in real time. If you miss something, scroll back while listening, look up unfamiliar words, translate the transcript, or replay the exact moment later.

Live transcription
See spoken words appear continuously on screen in an easy-to-read layout.

Works without a network connection
Transcription, translation, dictionary lookup, recording, and playback can continue offline — even in Airplane Mode.

Record and replay
Record a session together with its transcript, then replay the part you want to hear again.

Tap a word to look it up
Open the system dictionary directly from the transcript. Mic Captions also keeps a list of words you’ve looked up so you can review or copy them later.

Translation when you need it
Display the original transcription together with an on-device translation, or switch between original and translated text.

Summaries with Apple Intelligence
On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can summarize your transcripts to make longer sessions easier to review.

Designed for privacy
Core speech processing is performed using Apple’s on-device technologies. Your transcription doesn’t need to be sent to a cloud transcription service just to turn speech into text.

Make it comfortable to read
Choose from multiple themes and adjust the display to suit the way you use Mic Captions.

Whether you want captions while listening, reviewable notes from a meeting, help understanding unfamiliar words, or translation while traveling, Mic Captions keeps the tools together in one place.
