About

Easy2Say

Read full description

Easy2Say gives two people one calm screen for private, on-device bilingual captions. CAPTIONS Choose a microphone, input language, and subtitle language. Source speech and translation share equal space in portrait or landscape. ASSISTED CONVERSATION Each person speaks their own language and reads the conversation in theirs. Easy2Say compares two on-device transcribers to estimate who is speaking; tap either half to claim the floor when it guesses wrong. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, analytics, advertising, or cloud transcription client. Apple may download on-device language assets. When Apple Translation has no model for a pair, on-device Apple Intelligence may provide an experimental draft. TAIGI A bundled Breeze-ASR-26 model offers assistive Taigi captions as Mandarin-character transcription. First use may take several minutes while Core ML specializes the model; later starts use the cache. Requires iOS or iPadOS 26.
