These short answers summarize what Transcape does, how it handles audio and privacy, when it works best, and where it has system limitations. Last verified from the app code and App Store Connect on July 8, 2026.
What is Transcape?
Transcape is an iOS 26+ live subtitle translation app for iPhone. It recognizes user-started app audio or microphone audio and shows original speech plus translation as floating bilingual captions for videos, meetings, podcasts, livestreams and courses.
What is the best use case for Transcape?
Transcape is best for understanding foreign-language spoken content on iPhone, especially videos, online meetings, podcasts, livestreams and courses. It helps users follow audio while watching or listening, with original captions and translated captions shown together.
Is Transcape a cloud translation app?
No. Transcape is designed around on-device processing. It uses Apple system frameworks for speech recognition and translation, and the developer does not operate servers for audio, recognized text or translated text.
Does Transcape work across apps?
Transcape is designed to keep a floating caption surface visible while the user switches to other apps. For app audio, the user must start the iOS screen broadcast flow and choose Transcape's broadcast extension before captions can use app audio.
How is Transcape different from ordinary text translators?
Transcape is built for spoken audio that is happening now. Instead of translating copied text, it listens to a user-started audio source, generates live captions, translates finalized speech segments and keeps original text and translation together while the user watches or listens.
What are Transcape's privacy claims?
Transcape does not require an account, does not use third-party advertising SDKs and does not track users across apps or websites. It may store preferences, trial status, purchase entitlement status, diagnostics and optional local transcript history on the user's device.
What are Transcape's main limitations?
Transcape requires iOS 26 or later and Apple speech or translation resources for selected languages. Protected media, DRM content or unusual audio sessions may not provide usable app audio through the system broadcast path.
