Halfway through the meeting you notice you are not following it any more.
It is not lack of interest. An hour and a half of call wears down anyone, and for some people it happens much earlier. You drift for thirty seconds, come back, and the conversation is two topics ahead. Then comes the awkward part: pretending you kept up, or asking for a repeat for the third time.
During, without trying harder
-
What was said stays written⌥⌘L
The caption shows over the call window. When you lose the thread, the sentence is still there: catching up costs two seconds instead of the rest of the meeting.
-
Pause without ceremony⌥⌘P
One key and capture stops. For the break, for the part that is not on the agenda, for anything that does not need to be kept.
Afterwards, which is when you get back what slipped
-
The whole meeting stays on your Mac
History is on by default. What was said becomes a local session. Audio is never saved and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
-
Search by the bit you do remember
You remember the word "deadline" but not when it came up. Search for deadline and land on the passage. Search is free and has no limit.
-
A recap instead of rereading it allPro
Open the session and ask for the recap. It reads the whole meeting and gives back what was decided, including the part you were not in. That uses AI and is part of Pro.
-
Ask for the exact detailPro
"Who was going to send the contract?" is faster than rereading thirty minutes of transcript. Also Pro.
Recording, captioning and searching are free and unlimited. Recap, questions and exporting are part of Pro.
And the recap covers one meeting at a time. Pooling several into a single question is not possible yet. If you need that, write to hi@lyronapp.com.
You do not have to be translating anything
Most people arrive at Lyron for the translation, but history does not depend on it. If the meeting is in your own language, pick your language as the target and leave it recording anyway: speech becomes text, search works, the recap works. It is the least advertised use of the app and the one most people find on their own.
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 → -
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.

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.
