## What is Subear?

Subear gives you real-time captions and on-device translation for live conversations — no internet required.

Use it in meetings, while traveling, in classrooms, on support calls, or during everyday conversations. Pick your source and target languages, prepare Apple's system language assets for offline use, and keep your transcript history synced across your Apple devices with private iCloud sync.
KEY FEATURES
  • Live speech transcription with side-by-side translated captions
  • Offline-ready language packs — download once, use anywhere
  • Searchable conversation history with full-text search
  • Private iCloud sync for transcripts, titles, and preferences
  • Three flexible subtitle layouts: Timeline, Focus, and Columns
  • Subear Pro unlocks unlimited sessions and future Pro tools
  
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Subear uses the microphone only during active sessions. Audio recordings are never stored — not on your device, not on any server. Transcript text syncs exclusively through your private iCloud database. No third-party analytics. No ads. No tracking.
   
Translation and transcription quality may vary by device, language, speech clarity, and system conditions. Subear should not be used as the sole source for emergency, medical, or legal decisions.
