Earshot listens to your Mac's audio and lays live translated captions over any meeting app: Zoom, Meet, Teams, anything that makes sound. No bot joins your call. No audio leaves your Mac.
Release date stays Thursday. Design review needs two risk checks before the beta build is shared.
Let's confirm the launch date on Thursday.
Marketing feedback is still the main dependency.
Export the notes to the transcript folder after the call.
Captures system audio directly from Zoom, Meet, Teams, webinars, and videos. Nothing joins your call, nothing to install on the other side.
Whisper speech recognition and local AI translation run entirely on Apple Silicon. Your conversations stay on your Mac.
A translucent, resizable, click-through caption panel floats above everything. Toggle it with ⌥⌘T from anywhere.
Every meeting is transcribed and saved. Generate a summary with a local LLM and auto-export Markdown to your notes folder.
The public build keeps cloud engines hidden and focuses on local speech, local translation, and Apple-provided on-device language tools.
Translate into English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French or German, or auto-match your system language.
Meeting audio is the most sensitive data you produce all day. Earshot was designed so it never has to leave your machine.
No. You pay once and the app is yours. Early Access buyers get Earshot app updates while the product is maintained; this is not a promise of indefinite maintenance, future products, third-party services, or forever support.
The public build does not expose cloud engines. Speech recognition and translation are designed around local models and Apple on-device language tools.
Bots join your call as a participant, visible to everyone and blocked by many companies. Earshot captures your Mac's audio locally, so it works with any app and nobody has to know.
Speech recognition supports the ~100 languages Whisper covers. Captions can be translated into English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French and German, or auto-matched to your system language.
Starting new caption sessions and AI summaries pause. Your meeting history, exports and settings remain fully accessible. Enter a license key any time to continue.
Includes a 7-day free trial. Download the app first, then buy when you are ready to keep using core features.
