CaptionNow 廣東話即時字幕・語音轉文字 vs Lugoffice

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.

The hard part of a meeting isn't the meeting — it's the paperwork after. Lugoffice turns a spoken Cantonese meeting into polished written documents you can hand in right away. Lugji captures what was said; Lugoffice gets it done. Seven document types from one conversation · Meeting Minutes — summary, discussion, decisions, action items · Announcement — title, audience, body, sign-off · Formal Email — subject, greeting, body, courteous tone · Report — a structured report with summary and sections · Decision Notes — only the decisions actually made, with rationale and owners · Polish — proofread, tighten or expand your own draft (wording only, nothing invented) · Weekly Report — combine a week of meetings and notes into one review Cantonese-first Built for spoken Cantonese → written Chinese; also handles Mandarin and mixed Chinese/English. You choose what's sent, and only the text Your recording never leaves your device (it stays with Lugji) — Lugoffice only reads text, never your audio. Before every generation you see exactly what will be sent, and confirm first. Text is processed by enterprise Google Vertex AI and is not used to train AI models. Documents are saved to your own iCloud or Obsidian. Lugbox for organizations (licence required) Organizations running a Lugbox can send the documents you mark over their internal network to their own Lugbox, for local AI search and an organization shared library. Enquiries: sales@lugji.app Works best with Lugji (Cantonese meeting recording + transcripts) — it reads your Lugji meetings directly. No Lugji needed either: paste any text and still get documents. iPhone and iPad · iOS 18.
