Desktop-owned live loop
The desktop app handles the running caption session so live captions do not depend on a website request at the moment speech is happening.
- Live preview in the app
- OBS output from the app
- Session history saved locally first
Local captions
Live captions that stay close to the desktop app.
Local captions are the default route for creators who want translated captions, live preview, OBS output, and recording history without making the website part of the live caption moment.
- Desktop app
- Live preview
- Raw audio off by default
Local captions
Built for the creator's machine and live moment.
Local captions are the default explanation for privacy-conscious, low-friction captioning.
Private by default
Raw audio storage is off by default, and support upload should always be an explicit user action.
- Clear privacy copy
- Consent before support uploads
- No live caption text in public pages
Graceful setup states
If local captions need setup or repair, the app should explain the product state and keep recovery actions simple.
- Ready
- Setup unavailable
- Repair and return to local captions
