Live subtitles on top of every app

When you talk with people in a language that is not your first, Natively floats a subtitle bar over your call β€” and over your browser, notes, anything. The whole conversation stays right there: scroll back to re-read whatever you missed.

Part of your day is spent talking with people in a language that is not your first β€” colleagues on a call, a client across time zones, a class in another language. Most of the time you keep up. But conversations move fast, and the moment you stop to make sense of one sentence, two more have already gone by β€” and now someone is waiting for your answer, and you are not even sure what was asked.

Natively puts a small window on top of your meeting that writes down everything as it is said. The whole conversation stays right in front of you: glance at it to confirm what you heard, and scroll back through the last few minutes to find exactly what someone asked β€” without interrupting anyone or making them repeat it. It is the live equivalent of rewinding YouTube subtitles.

When a single word is the thing tripping you up, tap it in the transcript to see what it means in the context of that sentence, and save it to review later. It runs as a Mac app so it can listen to any call β€” Zoom, Google Meet, Teams β€” and stay visible while you keep taking notes or sharing your screen.

It is built for people who already operate in a second language β€” professionals on international teams, students in foreign-language lectures, anyone in fast cross-language conversations β€” not for absolute beginners. You stay present in the conversation instead of nodding along and hoping you understood.

  • See the whole conversation

    Every line everyone says is captured live, so the full conversation is right in front of you instead of gone the moment it is spoken.

  • Scroll back any time

    Lost the thread or missed a question? Scroll up through the transcript and re-read exactly what was said β€” no need to interrupt and ask again.

  • A window that stays on top

    A floating panel sits over Zoom, Google Meet or Teams, always visible while you take notes, share your screen, or keep working.

  • Tap any word for its meaning

    When one unfamiliar word breaks a sentence, tap it to see what it means in the exact context it was used β€” and save it to review later.

Frequently asked questions

What does the live transcript do?
It turns the spoken audio of your call into text in real time and keeps the full history in a floating window, so you can see everything that is said and scroll back to re-read anything you missed β€” including a question aimed at you β€” without asking anyone to repeat it.
Can I look up words during a call?
Yes. Tap any unfamiliar word in the live transcript and Natively shows its meaning in the context of the sentence it appeared in, while the call keeps going.
Which meeting tools does it work with?
The Mac app captures audio system-wide, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and other calls, regardless of which app the meeting runs in.
Who is this for?
People who already operate in a second language and want to keep up in fast conversations β€” international teams, students in foreign-language classes, and anyone who occasionally loses the thread in a meeting. It is not aimed at absolute beginners.
Do I need to download an app?
The full rewind-and-transcribe experience runs in the Natively Mac app so it can capture meeting audio across applications.
