Field notes
The homepage lays out a three-step flow: open the app, leave it visible, and read captions as they appear. It names Atkinson Hyperlegible as its typeface and says speaker labels can be tapped to add names. The page lists six languages and says the initial language download is the only step requiring internet; downloads vary substantially in size.
