You understand English. The problem is the twenty per cent that slips past.
A course, a recorded talk, a tutorial, a podcast. You follow the whole argument and then lose one sentence: the accent tightened, the audio was rough, or it was exactly the technical term you did not know yet. Rewinding the same bit three times costs more attention than the bit is worth, so you move on and pretend you got it.
While it plays
-
The caption sits over the player⌥⌘L
Lyron listens to your Mac’s audio output, so it works with anything that makes sound: a browser, a course app, a video player, a podcast. Whether the platform offers subtitles makes no difference.
-
You do not have to name the language
Leave detection on automatic and it works it out. That is the right mode for when you do not know in advance what you are about to hear, and it is exactly how our first subscriber uses the app every day.
Afterwards, if the subject actually mattered
-
It all stays on your Mac
Each session keeps what was said and the translation, locally. Audio is never saved.
-
Search works from both sides
Look for the English term you heard, or for the word in your own language that stuck. Both land on the same passage. Free, no limits.

A recap of what you just watchedPro
An hour of talk becomes a few paragraphs. Or ask directly: "what did he say about caching?". That uses AI and is part of Pro.
The caption appears when the sentence closes, not word by word. In a lecture that does not get in the way, because you do not have to answer anyone.
And if the video already has good subtitles in your language, you do not need Lyron. It is for when there are none, or when the automatic ones get exactly the technical terms wrong.
It works with anything that plays on your Mac
Lyron connects to no platform: it listens to the audio output. In practice that means it behaves the same on a paid course, on a conference video from ten years ago, on a podcast, or on an audio file someone sent you. And there is no integration to break when a site changes its layout.
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.

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.

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.
