Everything Happy Ears does

From live captions on any audio to private records, sentence replay and study tools — the full loop, on your Mac.

Live captions & inputs

System audio

Browsers, meeting apps, players, live streams and local media can all feed the caption window.

Microphone

Lecture halls, seminars and in-person interviews work through the mic.

Floating window

Always on top, movable and resizable — comfortable for long sessions.

Dual-language subtitles
