You follow the whole daily and still walk away feeling you missed something.
Working in a second language is not a vocabulary problem. It is that the conversation does not wait. Someone speaks fast, someone cuts in, someone uses an acronym that only exists on that team, and by the time you have assembled the sentence the topic has moved on. You keep up, you answer well, and you still leave the call with a question you can no longer ask without looking like you were not paying attention.
During the call
-
Speech becomes text as it happens⌥⌘L
The translated caption floats over the call window. When someone speeds up, the sentence stays written, so you stop losing the next two trying to rebuild that one.
-
Pause when it goes off topic⌥⌘P
One key and capture stops instantly. The small talk before and after the meeting does not need to become a record.
Afterwards, which is where it pays off
-
The meeting stays on your Mac
History is on by default. Each call becomes a session holding what was said and the translation, stored locally. Audio is never saved and none of it leaves your machine.
-
Search works from both sides
The index covers the original and the translation at once. Look for the acronym they used or for the word you remember in your own language, and you land on the same passage. Free, no limits.
-
Ask what went byPro
Open the session and type the question: "what did we decide about the deploy?". It reads the whole conversation and answers. That uses AI and is part of Pro.
-
Take it with youPro
Export the session as .txt, .md or .srt, to paste into your minutes or your own notes. Exporting is part of Pro.
The question is about one call at a time. Pooling the week of dailies and asking "what do I keep missing?" is not possible yet.
If that is what you need, write to hi@lyronapp.com. Knowing how many people want the same thing is what decides what I build first.
Not just dailies
It fits any recurring meeting in another language: planning, retro, one-on-one, a client call. The gain is not understanding better, it is not having to hold all of it in your head while you also do the work.
Another way to use it
-
Understanding accents on a call
You read English without a dictionary and still lose half the meeting. Live translated captions cover the gap.

Translating text on screen
Untranslated game, scanned PDF, a screenshot. Snip once and one shortcut re-translates that same area every line.

Remembering what they asked in the interview
The question appears translated live, and the conversation stays on your Mac — searchable by the term they used or by the translation.
Read → -
A meeting too long for your attention
You drift for thirty seconds and the conversation is two topics ahead. What was said stays written, and turns into a recap afterwards.

Understanding English video and courses
You follow the whole argument and lose exactly the sentence with the technical term. The caption sits over the player, and afterwards you can search what was said.
