Mandarin call translator

What was wasting time

Mandarin calls and screen text were hard to follow in real time, and privacy mattered.

What changed

I built a Mac app that listens locally, shows Chinese and English text side by side, and saves notes.

Result

Calls became easier to follow while keeping the work on the computer.

How it works

1. Capture call audio.
2. Turn speech into text.
3. Translate to English.
4. Read text from screenshots.
5. Save the notes.
