Multi-language support
Captionator includes multi-language support, starting in version 1.2. It is considered EXPERIMENTAL, and use at your own risk. The user interface is English only, but it is able to produce captions in several other languages supported by Siri. The list below includes the various languages, and their testing states. If you test out captionator with a new language, please let us know about it, as others would love to hear if about it!
If you see a “Cloud” next to your language, that means the language pack is not installed, and on-device transcriptions are not available. You can install them from System Preferences -> Language & Regions -> Translation Languages.
