Vocena

Software

Vocena is a live captions app for Mac. It captions any sound your Mac plays, such as a YouTube video, a Zoom call, or an online class, and it can listen to the microphone too. You don’t join the meeting or install a browser extension. Captions can float above your other apps, and translation appears right under each line.

Captions are free, with no time limit. Recognition runs on your Mac by default, and Local Mode stops uploads with one switch.
