Fits

Kyrifix Caption fits Mac users who need system-audio live captions, offline subtitles for local media, burn-in export, and searchable session history.

01

Capture system audio and mic

Caption supports unified capture for system audio, microphone input, and app output, so meetings and playback can enter the caption workflow.

02

Live captions in session

Live captions support understanding during the session and reduce replay work later.

03

Offline subtitles for local media

Offline subtitles, revision, export, and burn-in stay in one workflow, reducing repeated import and export work.

04

Review, export, and burn in

Subtitle generation and delivery stay in one path with fewer tool handoffs.

05

Return to timecodes by keyword

Session history, keyword search, and timecode lookup keep captions from becoming one-off files.

Meetings, remote calls, and system audio

Follow what is happening now while confirming the needed audio sources are captured.

Lessons, demos, and internal training

Stay with live explanation first, then finish subtitle delivery later.

Local videos, podcasts, and long-form media

Keep subtitle work searchable, revisable, and reusable over time.
