Bayan GlassCaption puts live Arabic-English captions over your presentation
A Mac app that listens to English or Arabic speech and displays translated captions as a transparent layer over PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva, PDFs, video, or other fullscreen presentations.
Field notes
Bayan GlassCaption uses a transparent, click-through overlay that remains above fullscreen slides while the presenter switches between English and Arabic speech. The page describes on-device speech recognition, complete-clause translation after natural pauses, and adjustable caption styling and placement. It names PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva, Google Slides, PDFs, and video as presentation surfaces, and says translation requires a normal Wi-Fi connection even though speech processing stays on the Mac.
