Use Cases

Works in every situation

Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.

💬Everyday Conversations

Most Galician 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 & HoH

Hearing people often don't know how to adapt when talking with deaf or hard of hearing Galician speakers. Captio AI turns their speech into real-time captions, so the conversation can happen naturally on both sides.

💼Meetings

In Galician 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.

🎓Lectures

Galician 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 Appointments

Doctors speak quickly in Galician 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 Interviews

Missing a question in a Galician 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 Calls

Galician 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 Settings

In Galician 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 & Cafes

Background noise in Galician-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.

✈️Traveling

In Galician-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 & Events

At Galician 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 & Media

Built-in subtitles on Galician 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.

Dialect & Accent Support

Galician dialect & accent support

Supports Standard Galician and regional varieties across Galicia.

Bloque Occidental dialect

Western Galician — spoken in A Coruña, Pontevedra, and the Atlantic coast. Considered the closest to Standard Galician (Galego estándar) and the reference variety for education and media. In the west, medieval nasal vowels developed into a distinct implosive nasal consonant not found in other blocks. Captio AI handles Bloque Occidental with full accuracy.

Bloque Central dialect

Central Galician — the transitional dialect zone bridging Western and Eastern varieties. Spoken in a broad band through inland Lugo and Ourense provinces. Has distinct phonological features from both outer blocks. Captio AI handles Bloque Central accurately.

Bloque Oriental dialect

Eastern Galician — spoken in the provinces of Lugo and Ourense bordering Asturias and León. Has more Spanish influence than western varieties, and vocabulary influenced by Astur-Leonese languages spoken across the border. Captio AI handles Bloque Oriental accurately in everyday conversational speech.

Fala dialect

Spoken in three villages of Extremadura (Valverde del Fresno, Eljas, San Martín de Trevejo) — an isolated relic variety of Galician-Portuguese that survived centuries of geographic isolation in the Sierra de Gata. Considered endangered. Captio AI handles educated Fala speech accurately; very heavy local features may reduce accuracy.

Galician-Spanish code-switching

Most Galician speakers are bilingual in Spanish, and switching between the two mid-sentence is extremely common in everyday speech — particularly in urban areas. Captio AI handles this naturally, displaying both languages correctly in the same caption stream.

Privacy

What you hear stays with you.

Gone the moment it ends

Captio AI processes your Galician 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 Galician doctor's appointment or job interview never ends up in a training dataset. Not ours. Not anyone else's.

Hearing accessibility for Galician speakers

Lengua de signos española (LSE)Galician regional variety

Deaf people in Galicia use Spanish Sign Language (Lengua de signos española, LSE), recognized nationally through Spain's Law 27/2007. The Galician regional variety of LSE is documented by linguists as one of the most lexically distinctive variants within Spain. The Centre for Linguistic Normalization of Spanish Sign Language (CNLSE), established in 2010, supports standardization and coordinates regional varieties across the country.

Oral history research with deaf people over 65 in Galicia documented a deeply exclusionary educational past: an absence of sign language interpreters, the systematic imposition of oralism as the sole teaching method, and near-total inaccessibility in schools. This pattern, common across Spain before the 2007 law, had lasting consequences on sign language development and community cohesion in the region.

Galicia's geographic position — historically more rural, with significant emigration to Latin America and Central Europe — has created a diaspora that includes many Galician speakers abroad. For hard of hearing Galician speakers today, Captio AI provides real-time Galician captions and handles Galician-Spanish code-switching naturally in the same caption stream.
