NANI???

NANI??? is a Mac application that listens to meetings and displays live translated subtitles with nuance notes for Japanese and English.

NANI??? is a Mac desktop application that listens to meeting audio and shows live translated subtitles floating above any window. Built primarily for Japanese and English cross-language work, it displays instant drafts while people speak and delivers polished translations once they finish. The app explains implied meanings that literal translations miss and alerts users with suggested replies when they are addressed. Speaker recognition and instant translation run locally on Apple silicon, while full speech recognition and enhanced translation use cloud processing without storing audio.
