Most Catalan conversations happen fast, at normal pace, without warning. Captio AI captions every word as it's spoken, so you can follow without asking anyone to repeat themselves.
🤟Communicating with Deaf & HoHHearing people often don't know how to adapt when talking with deaf or hard of hearing Catalan speakers. Captio AI turns their speech into real-time captions, so the conversation can happen naturally on both sides.
💼MeetingsIn Catalan meetings, decisions happen fast and people talk over each other. Captio AI captions every speaker as they talk, so you never miss a decision or a question directed at you.
🎓LecturesCatalan lecturers speak quickly, cover complex material, and rarely repeat themselves. Captio AI gives you a live transcript of everything said, so you can follow the content instead of straining to hear it.
🏥Doctor AppointmentsDoctors speak quickly in Catalan and use clinical language that's easy to mishear. Captio AI shows you everything they say in real time, so you can follow your diagnosis and ask the right questions.
🤝Job InterviewsMissing a question in a Catalan interview means answering wrong or asking for a repeat. Captio AI shows you every word the interviewer says, so you can focus entirely on your answer.
📱Phone & Video CallsCatalan phone and video calls are harder to follow than in-person conversations. No lip reading, often poor audio quality. Captio AI captions whoever is speaking in real time, so you do not need to ask for repeats.
👥Group SettingsIn Catalan group conversations, multiple people talk at once and the thread moves fast. Captio AI keeps up with whoever is speaking, so you can follow without losing where the conversation is going.
🍽️Restaurants & CafesBackground noise in Catalan-speaking restaurants and cafes makes speech hard to follow. Captio AI focuses on whoever is speaking to you, so you can have a real conversation through the noise.
✈️TravelingIn Catalan-speaking cities, airports, and hotels there is no margin for mishearing. Captio AI captions speech in real time, so you can navigate confidently wherever you go.
🎤Conferences & EventsAt Catalan conferences, speakers are far away, acoustics are unpredictable, and you cannot ask for a repeat. Captio AI gives you a live transcript of every speaker, so you can follow the full event from any seat.
📺TV & MediaBuilt-in subtitles on Catalan TV, films, and videos are often wrong, delayed, or missing. Captio AI captions whatever is playing in real time, so you are not dependent on what the content provides.

Supports Central Catalan, Valencian, and Balearic varieties.
Català central dialect
Central Catalan — the Eastern block variety spoken in Barcelona, Girona, and Tarragona. The basis for Standard Catalan used in Catalan media and education. A defining feature of the Eastern block is the reduction of unstressed 'a' and 'e' to a schwa (ə). Captio AI handles Català central with full accuracy.
Valencian dialect
Western block — spoken across the Valencia region and officially recognised as a co-official language of the Valencian Community (Comunitat Valenciana). Unlike Eastern Catalan, Valencian preserves distinct unstressed 'a' and 'e'. Has distinct vocabulary and some pronunciation differences from Central Catalan. Captio AI handles Valencian accurately.
Balear dialect
Eastern block — spoken across Mallorca (Mallorquí), Menorca (Menorquí), and Ibiza (Eivissenc). Each island has its own sub-variety. The most phonologically conservative Catalan variety, preserving medieval forms lost elsewhere. Captio AI handles educated Balear Catalan accurately.
Nordoccidental dialect
Western block — spoken in Lleida, inland Tarragona, Andorra, and the Catalan-speaking strip of Aragon. Forms the northwestern branch of the Western block alongside Valencian. Has distinct phonology from Central Catalan, preserving the unstressed vowel distinction. Captio AI handles Nordoccidental dialect accurately.
Rossellonès dialect
Eastern block — spoken in French Catalonia (Roussillon / Pyrénées-Orientales). Influenced by French and considered an endangered variety with a declining number of active speakers. Captio AI handles Rossellonès in its standard conversational form.

Gone the moment it ends
Captio AI processes your Catalan audio in real time and discards it immediately. Nothing is recorded. Nothing is kept.
Not a product
Your conversations are not something Captio AI sells, shares, or monetizes — to anyone, for any reason.
Not used to train anything
What you say in a Catalan doctor's appointment or job interview never ends up in a training dataset. Not ours. Not anyone else's.
Hearing accessibility for Catalan speakers
Catalan Sign Language (Llengua de Signes Catalana, LSC) was recognized by the Generalitat de Catalunya in 1994, included in the 2006 Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, and given full co-official language status through Law 17/2010, passed by the Catalan Parliament on 3 June 2010. The Institut d'Estudis Catalans (IEC) serves as the regulatory authority. The Catalan Federation for the Deaf estimates around 25,000 LSC signers and approximately 12,000 deaf people across Catalan-speaking territories. Linguists have confirmed LSC is a distinct language from Spanish Sign Language (LSE) — the two share only around 50% mutual intelligibility.
The deaf community is organized around the Federació de Persones Sordes de Catalunya (FESOCA). Universitat Pompeu Fabra ran one of the first LSC interpreter training programmes in Catalonia, and LSC grammar has been researched under the European SignHUB consortium. Catalonia is among the strongest institutional supporters of sign language rights in Spain.
For hard of hearing Catalan speakers, the multilingual landscape — switching between Catalan, Spanish, and LSC in formal settings — adds additional complexity. Captio AI provides real-time Catalan captions and handles Catalan-Spanish code-switching naturally in the same caption stream.
