CaptionNow 廣東話即時字幕・語音轉文字 vs Lunelo

A real-time speech-to-text tool built around two things: accuracy and low latency. The developer is hard of hearing, and couldn't find a single app that handled Hong Kong Cantonese properly — the code-switching between Chinese and English, the technical terminology — while staying accurate and returning results instantly. So this one got built. Every decision in it comes from what actually holds up in daily use, not from a feature checklist. Features Live transcript — Text appears as you speak. No waiting for the sentence to finish. Captions for audio playing on your phone — Not just the microphone. Video calls, videos, and podcasts get transcribed too, which most comparable tools can't do. Floating captions — Picture-in-Picture keeps captions on screen while you use other apps. You pick the language; it doesn't guess — Mandarin (Taiwan / Mainland), Hong Kong Cantonese including Chinese-English code-switching, and English (US / UK / India / Hong Kong). Once you choose, it stays there — no drifting between languages mid-sentence. Offline recognition — Download a language pack on iOS 26 or later and it works without a network connection. Built for long reading sessions — No decorative clutter. Comfortable to watch through an entire lecture. Who it's for Deaf and hard-of-hearing users — Everyday communication support. See what's being said. Students — Live lecture notes, without losing the thread while you try to keep up. Professionals — Meeting minutes and interview transcripts, handled as they happen. Specifications This is transcription, not translation. What goes in is what comes out — with one exception: spoken Cantonese is transcribed into standard written Chinese, with English terms kept inline as spoken. Online mode uses a cloud recognition engine. Offline mode requires iOS 26 or later. Real examples of recognition errors are welcome — they're the most effective way to improve accuracy right now.

Lunelo plans your day with you. It works like a mentor, not another backlog. Tap the mic in the morning and just talk — say "Call the doctor tomorrow at 9, prep the deck before lunch" — and in about a second the AI turns your sentence into a real task with priority, deadline, subtasks, and a reminder. It helps you decide what actually matters today, keeps you to the handful of things you'll really finish, and at night reflects with you and carries the rest forward. No guilt, just momentum toward your goals. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Talk, don't type — a spoken sentence becomes a structured task in about a second (EN / RU / ES) • Run your whole list by voice — in one sentence add, move, complete, or clear tasks, then confirm with a single tap • Focus on ~5–6 real priorities a day instead of a 200-item backlog • One day at a time; unfinished tasks roll forward — momentum, not guilt • Day / Week / Month views + a year heatmap, with a gentle streak and a grace day • Choose your mentor's voice: Friend (warm), Coach (direct), or Neutral (factual) • Sign in with Apple to back up your tasks and continue on any device — optional, never required • Local-first and private: no account to start, no ads, no tracking; voice is transcribed in the moment, then discarded FREE Voice and text capture with AI parsing in EN, RU, and ES.
