Transcript Reader does for subtitles what Safari's default "reader mode" does for articles: create a comfortable reading experience. But its usefulness extends beyond enabling users to focus on video content: Transcript Reader invites video watchers to select, search, copy, Quick note, and read ahead in the transcript. Whether you're a student trying to focus on a lecture, whether you have ADHD and find websites distracting, whether you have a hearing impairment and rely heavily on transcripts, or whether you have some sort of vision impairment that makes reading "on video" subtitles challenging Transcript Reader is for you.

Some things stay with you. The image you stop for. The idea you come back to. Stellata is where they go. Tap Share in any app — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Pinterest, a blog, anything — and the picture, the words and the video come across with the link. Then it starts to sort itself. ALIKE SAVES DRIFT TOGETHER Every link is read on your phone: its words, and what its picture shows. Nothing is sent anywhere. Tags appear on their own, and saves that belong together drift into groups in the galaxy, so even from far off you can see what your saving is really about. The same links gather into themes you can filter by — branding, motion, space, whatever you turn out to be into. FOUR WAYS TO LOOK Grid — everything you saved, at a glance, image first. Pinch to see more or less at once. Board — your saves spread over one plane, like a wall. Drag to roam, pinch to zoom. Galaxy — your library as a world in space, alike saves floating together in groups. Tap a link and a light travels out through everything it connects to, by picture, by meaning, by tag, through its own group and across to the others. Follow it somewhere unexpected. Projects — a space for a trip, a piece of work, or whatever you're into this week. SIT DOWN WITH A FRIEND Put two phones side by side and your libraries become one galaxy, each in its own color. See where your tastes meet, pass a link across, and leave with a little of theirs. The phones talk to each other directly — nothing goes through a server, and only what you choose to bring ever leaves your phone. BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY SAVED Your Instagram saves come across, so you start with your real collection instead of an empty page, and watch it sort itself into groups. FIND YOUR WAY BACK Search titles, notes, sites and tags. Filter by site, by type, by color. Or just wander. IT STAYS YOURS Everything syncs through your own iCloud, and previews are kept on the phone, so your library is there with no signal. Share a project and a few people can save into it together. No account to make, no feed, no one else's algorithm. STELLATA UNLIMITED The free plan holds 30 links. Unlimited holds any number, as a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase. If Unlimited ends, nothing is deleted: your newest 30 stay open and the rest wait for you.
