Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

Worth noticing: The stated requirements are Apple Silicon M1 or later, at least 16GB RAM, and macOS 15 or later.

Field notes

The described output is a standard macOS window, intended to fit into an existing video path rather than require a dedicated captioning workstation. The page lists safeguards for display sleep, microphone disconnects, and caption windows stranded off-screen. Its stated hardware floor is an Apple Silicon Mac with at least 16GB of RAM running macOS 15 or later; the product is still in field testing.
