Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built MirrorCaption out of frustration. I kept losing the thread in
multilingual meetings — scrambling to take notes, missing context, and
getting buried in inaccurate auto-transcripts. Every tool I tried either
required a desktop install, sent my audio to the cloud, or just... didn't
work well enough.
So I built the tool I actually wanted.
What MirrorCaption does:
🎙️ Real-time transcription + translation — speaks your language, literally.
Transcribes as you talk, translates on the fly, so you never fall behind.
🎧 Hybrid audio capture — mix your microphone and system audio
simultaneously. Perfect for online meetings, lectures, or any content playing
on your device.
🤖 AI summaries — when your session ends, get a (some) clean, structured summary
automatically generated from the full transcript.
📖 Vocabulary glossary — terms you encounter get saved into a personal
glossary. Great for language learners or domain-specific jargon in
professional settings.
🧠 Meeting context & learning — add context to your sessions (project
background, attendees, topic). The app learns from your meeting history to
progressively improve translation accuracy and terminology over time.
✏️ Custom translation & refinement rules — define your own translation
preferences and post-processing instructions. Your transcripts, your way.
🪟 Floating overlay (desktop) — keep a compact, always-on-top transcript
window while you work in other apps. No alt-tabbing.
📱 Full mobile support + PWA — works seamlessly on phones and tablets.
Install it as a PWA for an app-like experience. Traveling abroad? The
face-to-face mode lets two people hold a real conversation across a language
barrier using just one device.
🔒 Privacy-first, GDPR-compliant — your audio never leaves your device.
Transcripts and session data are stored locally only. No cloud uploads, no
data harvesting.
