Subtalk / Mac / Meetings

Every meeting,
in your language

Subtalk is a Mac app that shows translated subtitles while people talk in calls, meetings and videos, then turns each one into notes with a summary, decisions and action items. Speech recognition, translation and the summary run on your Mac: what you hear and say is not sent anywhere.

Live subtitles

Subtitles while
people talk

01

Zoom, Meet, Teams and videos

Subtalk hears your Mac's sound and your microphone. Nothing joins the meeting: no bot, no plugin, no link to share.

02

Over any window

A floating subtitle strip stays on top of the meeting window. Pick a second subtitle language, or translate your own words back for the other side.

03

English, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and more

About 30 languages to hear and translate. Some need a model you download once in the app; Apple's translation needs the free macOS language packs.

01 — Start

Pick the languages,
press Start

Choose the language you hear and the one you read, then press Start or the space bar. Only need the original words? Switch to Notes only.

  • 01About 30 languagesEnglish, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and more.
  • 02Notes onlyNo translation: the transcript and the summary stay in the meeting's language.
  • 03Two-wayWhat you say into the microphone is translated back for the other side.

02 — Notes

Notes that write
themselves

When the meeting ends, the transcript and its translation become a note. The AI on your Mac writes the summary: what was decided, who does what and by when, and what is still open.

  • 01Every point has a sourcePoint at the time beside a point to read the line it came from; click to jump there.
  • 02A template per meetingTeam meeting, client meeting, interview or lecture.
  • 03Yours to editTick off action items and add notes of your own.

03 — Ask

Ask the meeting
a question

Type a question about a meeting, such as who does what before Friday. The answer comes from the transcript, with the times of the lines it used.

  • 01Answered on your MacThe same on-device AI as the summary; no question leaves the Mac.
  • 02Check itEach answer links back to the lines it is based on.
  • 03In your languageAnswers follow the app's language: English, Vietnamese or Chinese.

04 — Read aloud

Listen instead
of reading

Turn on Read aloud and a natural voice made on your Mac reads each translated line while the meeting goes on.

  • 01One switchThe speaker button on the bar turns it on or off.
  • 02Any line againClick the speaker beside a line to hear just that line.
  • 03Made on your MacVoices in Vietnamese, English and other languages; Chinese voices are not part of this version.
This clip has no sound.

05 — Files

Recordings and
video files

Open or drop an audio or video file: Subtalk writes the transcript, translates it and makes a note, as with a live meeting.

  • 01Drag and dropDrop a file on the window, or use the open-file button.
  • 02The same noteA file gets a summary, questions and export like any meeting.
  • 03Stays on your MacThe file is processed on your Mac and never uploaded.

06 — Export

Share it
your way

Send a note to your team as Markdown, Word or PDF, or save the transcript as SRT subtitles for a video.

  • 02Word and PDFFor people who do not use Subtalk.
  • 03SRT subtitlesTimed lines to add to a video.

No cloud · No account in the app

What you hear
stays on your Mac

01

Engines on your Mac

Apple's on-device speech recognition and translation, plus speech and AI models you download once in the app (the summary model is 2.7 GB and needs 12 GB of memory or more). No audio or text goes to a server.

02

Notes kept private

Notes are stored encrypted in the app's folder on your Mac. Recordings are kept only if you turn on Save recordings.

03

A key, not an account

The app unlocks with a licence key it checks on your Mac. There is no sign-in in the app and no analytics.
