Features

  • Real-time transcription — captures your Mac's system audio with a Core Audio process tap and transcribes Japanese speech as it's spoken (partials in the HUD, finalized sentences in the transcript).
  • On-device translation — Japanese → English via Apple's Translation framework by default; optional cloud providers (Google Translate, DeepL, OpenRouter) with retry/fallback, a cloud disclosure prompt, and Keychain-stored API keys.
  • Floating subtitle HUD — always-on-top, semi-transparent, click-through overlay that steps through translated entries without covering your video.
  • Reading aids — toggle inline romaji or furigana over the transcript.
  • Tap-to-lookup dictionary — click any word for definitions, pitch accent, and JLPT level from a bundled dictionary database, with homograph paging and name-entry badges.
  • Session export — save transcripts as TXT, SRT, VTT, or JSON.

Requirements

  • Mac with Apple Silicon
  • macOS 15.5 or newer
  • System audio permission when prompted
  • Internet connection for the first-launch model download (and for cloud translation providers, if enabled)

Install

  1. Open Mimidasu-1.0.0.dmg and drag Mimidasu to Applications.
