v1.1.13

Live captions for any audio on your Linux desktop, recognised entirely on your own computer. This release makes docked captions behave like a panel, slides them smoothly between positions, and brings the AppImage to older systems.

Install

With automatic updates (recommended):

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

Installed that way already? flatpak update gets 1.1.13.

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

flatpak install --user NowCaption-1.1.13-x86_64.flatpak

Or the AppImage, for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and newer — no installation needed:

chmod +x NowCaption-1.1.13-x86_64.AppImage
./NowCaption-1.1.13-x86_64.AppImage

Gear Lever or AppImageUpdate can keep it up to date.

What's new in 1.1.13

  • Docked captions act like a panel. Docked at the top, bottom, left or right, the captions now sit next to the panels you already have, instead of pushing them aside.
  • Captions over fullscreen apps (KDE Plasma). While a fullscreen game or video is open on their screen, docked captions switch to your floating box on top of it, and dock again when it closes. The Flatpak asks for one extra permission for this, to talk to KWin.
  • Smooth moves between positions. Choosing another position slides the captions into their edge and out of the new one, and maximised windows beside them grow and shrink along with the slide instead of jumping. Floating captions fade.
  • AppImage for older systems. The AppImage now runs on Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and newer: on systems older than 2024 it brings its own C library.

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.
