Starfire AI is an on-device AI assistant for conversation, learning, translation, meetings, image understanding, and video creation. It brings practical AI tools together to help you study, communicate, organize information, and create content. 【On-Device AI & Privacy】 AI inference is performed locally on your device. Your prompts, photos, audio, videos, transcripts, and generated content are not sent to Qwen, ModelScope, Hugging Face, or other third-party AI services. ModelScope and Hugging Face are used only to download model files selected by the user. Local processing reduces network dependence and gives you greater control over your content. Performance depends on device capability, available storage and memory, selected model, context length, app rules, and membership benefits. 【AI Chat & Image Understanding】 Ask questions, continue conversations, analyze images, recognize text with OCR, summarize screenshots, extract information, and generate practical content. Responses support Markdown, tables, code, links, and mathematical formulas. 【Translation & Speech】 Translate images and text, use face-to-face translation, live interpretation, speech-to-text, and multilingual read-aloud tools. Supported languages and voices vary by device and system availability. 【Learning Tools】 Create language dictation exercises and mock exams by grade, subject, difficulty, and question type. Use photo-based question solving and homework correction to review answers and concise solution ideas. Animal Practice provides child-friendly vocabulary, pronunciation, translation, and example sentences. 【Meetings】 Record meetings, transcribe speech, translate transcripts, play saved audio, and generate structured summaries with key points, decisions, and action items. 【Video Creation】 Create subtitles, translate videos, or use Record & Translate. Extract and recognize speech, generate bilingual segments, review subtitle text, customize subtitle styles, and export subtitle files or completed videos. 【Custom AI Apps & History】 Create personalized tools by combining prompts with available capabilities. Manage conversations, learning records, meeting notes, translation history, and video projects. AI-generated content may be inaccurate and is provided for reference only. It does not replace professional medical, legal, financial, or educational advice. Some downloads, subscriptions, sharing, analytics, and system services require an internet connection.
