You walked out of the interview not remembering half of what they asked.
An interview in a second language stacks two problems: understanding it live and remembering it later. You are busy parsing the question while trying to answer well — and afterwards all that is left is the feeling that you froze on something, without knowing what.
During the conversation
-
The question shows up in writing⌥⌘L
The translated caption floats over the call window. A thick accent or a fast question stops costing you the whole answer.
-
Pause when you need to⌥⌘P
One key and capture stops instantly. For the part of the conversation that should not be recorded.
Afterwards — where it turns into practice
-
The conversation stays on your Mac
History is on by default. Each call becomes a session holding what was said and the translation, stored locally.
-
Search covers both languages
The index is over the original AND the translation. You can find it by the term they used ("system design") or by the word you remember in your own language.
-
Star the question that caught you
Starring is free and unlimited, and starred lines get a filter of their own in the list.
-
Take the session outPro
Export it as .txt, .md or .srt, to paste into your study notes. Exporting is part of Pro.
-
Ask the conversation itselfPro
A recap of what happened, or a direct question: "what did they ask about architecture?". That uses AI and is part of Pro.
The question is about one conversation at a time. Comparing your last five interviews at once — "where do I keep freezing?" — is not there yet.
If that is what you want, write to hi@lyronapp.com. Knowing how many people need it is what decides what I build first.
Not just interviews
It holds for any conversation in another language you will need to recall: a feedback review, a sales call, a lecture, a client meeting. Understanding happens live; remembering happens later — and both are usually the same person, alone.
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.

Leaving the daily unsure of what you missed
You follow the whole meeting and still end up with a question you can no longer ask. The call is kept, and you can ask it later.
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.
