Live captions for any audio on your Linux desktop, recognised entirely on your own computer. This release keeps the captions steady in long conversations.

Install

With automatic updates (recommended):

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

Installed that way already? flatpak update gets 1.1.12.

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

flatpak install --user NowCaption-1.1.12-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-1.1.12-x86_64.AppImage
./NowCaption-1.1.12-x86_64.AppImage

Gear Lever or AppImageUpdate can keep it up to date.

What's new in 1.1.12

  • Steady captions in long conversations. After several minutes of nonstop talk, the words already on screen used to jump between rows every few seconds. Now they stay in their rows, and only the newest row changes as words come in.
  • No more hopping words. A comma appearing or disappearing at the end of a row no longer pushes a word onto the next row.

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.
