Question 1

Does Captio AI handle Macedonian accurately — distinct grammar and vocabulary from Serbian or Bulgarian?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI supports Macedonian as a distinct South Slavic language, with its specific grammar, vocabulary, and phonology handled accurately.

Question 2

Does it handle Macedonian spoken with Albanian or Turkish influence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Macedonian spoken with phonological or lexical influence from Albanian or Turkish, common in western and central North Macedonia, is handled accurately.

Question 3

Does it handle Albanian — spoken by a large proportion of North Macedonia's population?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI supports Albanian fully. In mixed Macedonian–Albanian communities, conversations that shift between the two languages are handled accurately.

Question 4

Does it handle fast informal Macedonian in kafana conversations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI handles colloquial Macedonian speech, including reduced forms and informal register used in everyday social settings.

Question 5

Does it handle regional dialect variation within Macedonian?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Regional variation including western, eastern, and northern Macedonian dialects is handled accurately.

Question 6

Does it work in noisy settings like the old bazaar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Typical bazaar background noise is handled well. Hold the phone toward the vendor you are transacting with for best accuracy.

Question 7

Does it work for conversations at family celebrations — slava, weddings, Bajram?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Large family gatherings with overlapping speech are a core everyday-conversations setting. Captio AI captions whoever you point the phone toward.

Question 8

Does it work for Macedonian speakers in the diaspora — Australia, Germany, Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI captions Macedonian speech accurately regardless of where the speaker is located.

Question 9

Does Captio AI work in noisy environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI is built for real-world noise, not just quiet rooms. It handles moderate background noise well — restaurants, streets, busy offices. Very loud environments (concerts, heavy machinery) may reduce accuracy, but for typical everyday settings the captions stay accurate.

Question 10

Can I use Captio AI for conversations with strangers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Place your phone between yourself and the other person. They speak normally; you read the captions. Most people understand immediately and adapt naturally without any awkwardness.

Question 11

Does it work for fast speakers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI handles natural conversational speed, including fast speakers. It is designed for real-world speech, not slow dictation — so it keeps up with the way people actually talk.

Question 12

What if someone switches language mid-conversation?

Accepted Answer

Switch to Live Translator mode. Live Translator detects the spoken language and translates into your chosen language in real time — so mid-conversation language switches are handled automatically without any manual adjustment.

Question 13

How should I hold or position my phone?

Accepted Answer

Point the microphone toward whoever is speaking. In a face-to-face conversation, place the phone flat on the table between you with the microphone facing the other person. In a group setting, place it in the centre of the group. You do not need to hold it — a flat surface works well.

Question 14

Does it work for counter conversations — pharmacies, post offices, shops?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hold or place the phone near the counter, pointed toward the staff member. They speak at their normal pace; you read the captions. You do not need to explain anything to them or ask them to slow down.

Question 15

Is the audio from my conversations stored anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Captio AI processes audio in real time and discards it immediately. Nothing is stored on servers, nothing is shared, and nothing is used for any purpose beyond generating captions in the moment.

Question 16

Does it work when people are speaking quietly?

Accepted Answer

Quiet speech is captured as long as the phone is close enough to the speaker — within a metre typically works well. Very low whispers at distance may reduce accuracy, but normal quiet speech in a one-to-one conversation is handled accurately.

Question 17

Can I use Captio AI for informal work moments — hallway chats, quick questions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These spontaneous conversations are exactly what Captio AI is designed for. Open the app and point it toward whoever is speaking. There is no setup required between conversations.

Question 18

Does Captio AI need an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI requires an active internet connection — Wi-Fi or mobile data — to process speech. For outdoor conversations, a mobile data connection keeps it working wherever you are.
