Frequently asked questions
How is this different from macOS Live Captions?
System Live Captions are great for a quick glance, but the words vanish as they scroll and nothing is kept. Happy Ears adds dual-language subtitles, local recording, sentence-by-sentence replay and export — a record you own.
What Mac do I need?
macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon (M-series). Speech recognition and translation use the system's on-device AI — no extra model downloads.
Does my audio ever leave my Mac?
No. Recognition and translation run on device. We never collect, store or analyze your audio, captions or transcripts; our servers only handle licensing, updates and privacy-friendly site analytics.
Can people see my captions when I share my screen?
Turn on screen-share protection and the caption window stays out of screenshots and shared screens — visible only to you.
Which languages can captions be translated into?
18+ target languages, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic and Hindi. Availability follows macOS on-device language support.
Is it OK to record meetings?
Recording is always opt-in and stored only on your Mac. Follow your local laws and meeting policies, and let participants know when you record.
Where do I find my license?
Click “License” in the navigation to open /license on this domain, enter your purchase email, and view your license and devices.
