Hearica

Hearica is a Windows desktop application that provides real-time captions and translations for any audio playing on your computer — including Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Discord, YouTube, and more — without requiring browser extensions or plugins. It captures system audio output, microphone input, or uploaded audio/video files, delivering sub-second transcription across 60+ languages. Built with accessibility in mind, Hearica empowers Deaf and hard-of-hearing users by making every conversation, lecture, and video accessible. The app is available on the Microsoft Store and processes audio with enterprise-grade privacy, including GDPR and HIPAA-ready infrastructure.

• System-wide audio capture: Transcribe any app's audio output — Zoom, Teams, YouTube, Discord — without plugins or browser extensions.
• Microphone & file support: Switch to microphone mode for in-person dictation, or drag and drop MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, and MKV files for offline transcription.
• Real-time translation: Get live translations across 60+ languages, ideal for multilingual meetings and international content.
• Customizable floating overlay: A always-on-top caption window lets you adjust font size, weight, and background opacity, and position it anywhere on screen.
• Custom vocabulary profiles: Create context profiles with product names, technical terms, and jargon so Hearica spells them correctly every time.
• Transcript export: Save sessions with timestamps and speaker labels; export to PDF, Word (.docx), plain text (.txt), or SRT subtitle files.
• Synchronized playback: Replay saved recordings with highlighted captions — click any line to jump to that moment in the audio.
• Privacy-first architecture: Zero audio retention by design; audio is never used for AI training; supports EU/US regional processing, GDPR, and HIPAA-ready providers.
