- The page reports 11.20% word error on call audio versus 11.61% for its cloud comparison.
Field notes
Fraze listens to system audio, a microphone, or one macOS application and renders captions with translated subtitles in a floating window. The homepage says models are downloaded once, after which processing makes no network call, and links to benchmark code supporting its reported comparison. It also lists a Windows 11 path for machines without Copilot+ translation support.
