Live Captions Supported Languages on Mac
Caption provides live-caption recognition models for Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Cantonese, and French on Mac. Choose the matching model, prepare its local resource, and confirm the live text with a short sample before the session starts.
Choose the language that matches the speech
Open Caption and select the recognition model for the language you expect to hear. Use one short spoken sample to confirm that new caption lines appear before the meeting, recording, class, or media playback begins.
Prepare the local resource
Keep the selected language resource ready before the session. Caption can then turn the chosen audio source into live text and save the session with time points for later review.
Review the saved words
Search a name, number, or phrase after the session. Caption opens the matching time point so you can compare the text with the original audio.
