v1.1.11

Live captions for any audio on your Linux desktop, recognised entirely on your own computer. This release lets you dock the captions along any edge of the screen, and the caption box now keeps up with Text size.

Install

With automatic updates (recommended):

flatpak install --user --from https://techlm77.github.io/NowCaption/nowcaption.flatpakref

Installed that way already? flatpak update gets 1.1.11.

Or download a file below — x86_64 for most PCs, aarch64 for 64-bit ARM — then:

flatpak install --user NowCaption-1.1.11-x86_64.flatpak

Or the AppImage, for systems from 2024 or newer (glibc 2.39: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, Fedora 40, Arch) — no installation needed:

chmod +x NowCaption-1.1.11-x86_64.AppImage
./NowCaption-1.1.11-x86_64.AppImage

Gear Lever or AppImageUpdate can keep it up to date.

What's new in 1.1.11

  • Dock the captions. Right-click the captions and pick a little screen under Position: floating, as before, or docked at the top, bottom, left or right. Docked captions take that strip of the screen, and maximised or snapped windows make room for them, so nothing is covered. Drag the edge between the captions and your windows to resize both together. On KDE Plasma, Hyprland and Sway.
  • Text size keeps up. The caption box now grows and shrinks with the text on every click of Text size, instead of a step behind. Floating captions keep their bottom edge in place, so whatever is lined up under them stays lined up.
  • The menu always fits. The right-click menu opens toward the free space on the screen, so it no longer runs off the bottom or needs scrolling when the captions are low on the screen or docked.
  • Smaller fixes. The resize cursor stays while you drag an edge, and docked captions show messages such as "Transcript copied" in a corner, so the strip never changes size.

The .zip and .tar.gz below contain the source code. The speech model is unchanged and is downloaded separately from the models-v2 release; its training data and licences are listed in MODEL-LICENSES.md.
