Understand every conversation in real time. Buzz turns speech into live captions and translates it as people talk: in conversations, meetings, lectures, videos and everyday life. Whether you're deaf or hard of hearing, learning a language, in a classroom or working with a multilingual team, Buzz helps you follow along. Speech appears on screen within moments, making conversations more accessible, inclusive and easier to understand. FEATURES • Live Captions: speech to text in real time, with auto-detect for the language being spoken. • Live Translation: one-way translation into the language you read, or two-way translation so both people understand each other. • Face-to-Face Mode: a split screen that flips so each person reads in their own language, or a simple conversation list. • Speaker Labels: see who said what, with captions grouped by speaker. • Transcribe Audio Files: bring in a recording and watch the transcript build with a progress bar. • Background Captioning: captions keep running when Buzz is in the background, and a dropped connection resumes the same session. • Transcript History: search past sessions, star favorites, edit lines, and share or delete with a swipe.
