Gainware Chat is a voice-to-text intercom for live production crews. Speak into your headset and your words appear instantly as text in a shared feed on every device in the session. iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and any browser on your network. Built for shows: FOH to monitors, stage manager to spot ops, camera to director. Anywhere talking out loud isn't possible and typing is too slow. HOW IT WORKS • One device starts the session; everyone on the same Wi-Fi joins in one tap • Your speech is transcribed on your device and posts when you pause • Late joiners automatically receive the whole conversation so far • Everything stays on your local network. No accounts, no cloud, no internet needed MADE FOR LIVE WORK • Adjustable send-after-pause timing, so whole thoughts arrive as one message • Channels ("Band", "Crew", "Cameras"…) plus private direct messages • Photos in the feed and in DMs • Notifications for new messages. All channels or just the ones you pick • Background intercom: keep talking with the phone in your pocket • Privacy option: pause the mic completely whenever the app is in the background • Web viewer: any browser on the network can follow along via QR code • Apple Watch: read the feed and send quick replies from your wrist • Themes and adjustable text size, readable from across a stage PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio is transcribed on the device that captures it and never leaves it.
