Captions video callsZoom, Teams and Meet calls on the same device.	Captio AI No It is not a video-call captioning service. Source: Live Captions (Captio AI)	Augio Yes: On Windows, next to Teams or Zoom On a Windows computer the captions run in a window next to Teams or Zoom, so you don't depend on someone turning on the meeting's own captions. Sources: Augio website (Augio ApS), Google Play listing, Augio account page (Augio ApS)
Captions people in the roomSpeech picked up by the phone's microphone, for face-to-face conversations.	Captio AI Yes, from the phone's microphone Speech in the room appears as text while the person is still talking. Sources: Apple App Store listing, Live Captions (Captio AI)	Augio Yes, phone on the table Put the phone on the table at dinner, in a meeting or in a conversation, and what is said appears as text in real time. Sources: App Store listing (Denmark) (Apple App Store), Augio website (Augio ApS)
Group conversationsAt a table or in a meeting, voices come from every side.	Captio AI Partly: One phone: speaker labels, names, direction One phone captions the whole table and labels each speaker. On iPhone it can name people by their voice, and on iPhone 16 and later a wave shows which side a voice comes from. Shared folders let several people add recordings to one place; live captions are not joined across phones. Sources: Apple App Store listing, Recognize voices (Captio AI) (Captio AI), Speaker direction (Captio AI) (Captio AI), Live Captions (Captio AI)	Augio Partly: Works best with 2 to 3 people Augio says it works well for conversations between two and three people in an ordinary room, and that five people talking over each other is not something it is good at yet. Sources: Augio website (Augio ApS), Google Play listing
Shows who is talkingWithout it, a group conversation is one block of text.	Captio AI Yes, live and saved; names by voice on iPhone Separates speakers (Speaker 1, Speaker 2). On iPhone it can learn saved voices and show their names instead. Sources: Apple App Store listing, Recognize voices (Captio AI) (Captio AI), Live Captions (Captio AI)	Augio Not yet Augio's Google Play listing says it can't yet tell who is speaking. Source: Google Play listing
Remembers people's voicesCaptions that say "Mum" instead of "Speaker 2", every time she talks.	Captio AI Yes, Recognize Voices (iPhone) Save someone's voice once (about 20 seconds of talking, or an audio file) and their name and emoji show on every line they say, live and in saved recordings, instead of "Speaker 2". Voiceprints are made on the iPhone and never uploaded. When someone new talks for a while, Captio AI asks who it is. Free plan: your own voice plus one other person; Plus: more people. Source: Recognize voices (Captio AI) (Captio AI)	Augio No Augio can't yet tell speakers apart, so it doesn't name people by their voice. Source: Google Play listing
Shows where a voice comes fromAt a busy table, knowing where to look helps you follow who is talking.	Captio AI Yes, on iPhone 16 and later With the iPhone flat on the table, a wave grows at the edge of the captions on the side the voice comes from, in that speaker's colour, while new words appear. It uses the iPhone's spatial microphones (not AirPods or an external mic), works in Live Captions and Live Translator, is calculated on the phone, and is free. Source: Speaker direction (Captio AI) (Captio AI)	Augio Not stated
Alerts for soundsDoorbells, alarms and a baby crying, as a notification.	Captio AI Yes, sounds in the captions; alerts vibrate Recognize Sounds (iPhone and iPad) writes sounds into the captions where they happen, like [doorbell rings], in Live Captions, Live Translator and uploaded files. A doorbell, knocking, a smoke alarm, a siren, a phone ringing or a baby crying makes the phone vibrate, with a notification when the screen is locked during a recording. It works while Captio AI is recording, not as an always-on alarm. Recognized on the phone; free; not on Android yet. Source: Recognize sounds (Captio AI) (Captio AI)	Augio Not stated Augio's pages don't describe alerts for sounds like a doorbell or an alarm. Sources: Augio website (Augio ApS), App Store listing (Denmark) (Apple App Store)
Live translationFor a conversation in a language you don't read.	Captio AI Yes, live, two-way mode Live translation next to the original captions, with a two-way mode where each person reads the other in their own language.

Add your own words and namesNames, medicines and jargon are the words captions miss most.	Captio AI Yes, words and names Add names, medical terms or specialist words so they are recognised. Source: Live Captions (Captio AI)	Augio Yes, your own words (dictionary) Add your own words, such as the names of family, colleagues and places, and specialist terms, so they are spelled right.

Live captions without internetPlanes, basements, hospitals and trips abroad often have no signal.	Captio AI Partly: Records offline, captions later Live captions need internet. Without a connection it keeps recording and transcribes automatically when the phone is back online. Sources: Apple App Store listing, Live Captions (Captio AI)	Augio No, needs internet Speech recognition runs on servers, so the service needs an internet connection.

Key differences

What actually sets them apart

Will Augio caption my English-speaking colleagues?

Not according to Augio's own pages: it is built for Danish from the ground up, with dialects, numbers and everyday speech, and mentions no other language and no translation. Captio AI captions and translates 60+ languages, Danish among them, including speech that switches language mid-sentence.

Sources: App Store listing (Denmark) (Apple App Store), Augio website (Augio ApS), Google Play listing, Apple App Store listing, Live Captions (Captio AI), Captio AI in Danish

Can Augio caption a Teams meeting on my work PC?

Yes. Augio has a Windows app that shows Danish captions in a window next to Teams or Zoom, on the same account as your phone. Captio AI has no Windows app and doesn't caption video calls; it captions the people in the room on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Can Augio tell who is talking at a table of five?

Not yet. Augio's Google Play listing says it can't tell speakers apart, and its website names five people talking over each other as a weak spot. Captio AI splits the text by speaker on a single phone. Save your mother's voice once and Recognize Voices (iPhone) writes "Mor" in front of her lines instead of a number. And if the phone is an iPhone 16 or later, laid flat among the plates, Speaker Direction raises a wave at the edge of the captions nearest the person speaking.

Can I keep using Augio for free after the trial?

No. When the 14 days end, Augio charges DKK 149 a month or DKK 1,500 a year on the Danish App Store (November 2026), or DKK 99 and DKK 999 for anyone who subscribes before 1 January 2027. Captio AI has no trial that runs out: its free tier simply gives 100 free credits a day. Lifting that limit with Captio AI Plus costs US$79.99 a year or US$14.99 a month in the US App Store (October 2026), and prices vary by country.

Can my kommune or jobcenter pay for Augio?

Augio sells municipalities, job centres and other public bodies a 12-month licence for a named person, at DKK 1,200 excl. VAT, and offers the citizen a trial before the grant; its pages don't say who qualifies. Captio AI isn't part of a public scheme, but any organization can buy yearly Captio AI Plus licences per person, paid by invoice.

Sources: Augio terms of sale (Augio ApS), Augio privacy policy (Augio ApS), Augio account page (Augio ApS), Captio AI for organizations

Does Augio need an internet connection?

Yes. Augio's speech recognition runs on servers, and it lists use without internet among the things it can't do yet. Captio AI is in the same position for live captions, with one difference: it carries on recording through a dropped connection and transcribes the recording when the signal returns.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who makes Augio, and is it Danish?

Yes, it is Danish. Augio ApS in Glamsbjerg makes it for Danish conversations and people with hearing loss, and sells it on the Danish App Store with prices in kroner. Captio AI captions Danish as one of 60+ languages and has its own Danish page at captioai.app/danish.

Can Augio replace a skrivetolk (writing interpreter)?

No, and Augio says so itself: it is a supplement, not a replacement for a hearing aid, a cochlear implant or a writing interpreter. In Denmark you can apply for writing or sign-language interpretation, for example at work, at the doctor's or for a family celebration (see borger.dk). Captio AI is automatic too and doesn't replace an interpreter; it is one more tool next to them.

How much does Augio cost in Denmark?

The regular price is DKK 149 a month or DKK 1,500 a year with VAT (Danish App Store, November 2026). Subscribe before 1 January 2027 and DKK 99 or DKK 999 stays your price for as long as the subscription runs; on augio.dk you can pay by card or MobilePay. In the US App Store, Captio AI Plus was US$14.99 monthly and US$79.99 yearly in October 2026, while its free tier of 100 free credits a day costs nothing.

Does Augio run on Android, iPhone and iPad?

On Android and iPhone (iOS 16.4 or later), plus Windows computers; the App Store lists it for iPhone only, not iPad. Captio AI runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, but has no Windows app.

Does Augio understand jysk and other Danish dialects?

Augio says it is made for Danish with dialects, numbers and everyday language, without naming the dialects. Captio AI's Danish page lists Rigsdansk, Sjællandsk, Fynsk, Jysk and Bornholmsk, and says very heavy Bornholmsk features may reduce accuracy.

Where does Augio keep my conversations?

Encrypted on your own device only. The audio sent for speech recognition isn't stored, and the terms say transcripts are kept only if you turn that on. Captio AI saves recordings in a searchable library synced to your account; the audio it processes live isn't kept on its servers, and nothing you record is used to train AI models.

Can Augio caption a YouTube video or a DR programme on my PC?

On a Windows PC, yes: Augio's App Store listing names online meetings and video as what the computer app is for. On the phone it isn't described. Captio AI doesn't caption sound playing on a device; instead it transcribes audio and video files you upload, with speaker labels.

Do I need an account to use Augio?

Yes. You sign in with your email and a one-time code, with no password, and the same account works on all your devices. With Captio AI an account is optional: sign in with Apple or Google to sync, or skip it and use the app on one phone.
