Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
A Gujarati family dinner — Diwali, a navratri celebration, or a Sunday meal — with relatives talking across the table in Gujarati, Hindi, and English.
A wedding function or garba evening where the hall is full and small groups catch up in corners and across tables all at once.
A catch-up with friends from the Gujarati community over chai and chevdo, with quick back-and-forth conversation across topics.
A community meeting at a Gujarati cultural association, temple gathering, or neighbourhood committee where everyone wants to speak.
Three generations at a family meal — grandparents in Saurashtra or Kathiawari Gujarati, parents in standard Gujarati, children mixing in English.
A casual evening at a friend's home or community hall where small clusters form and the conversation flows freely.

Built to keep you in the conversation, not just in the room
Captions whoever is speaking
Captio AI follows the dominant voice at any moment — whoever is loudest in the microphone's direction. In a group conversation, this tracks the active speaker naturally.
Works through background noise
Restaurants, living rooms, parties, outdoor gatherings. Moderate background noise does not prevent accurate captions — Captio AI is built for real environments, not quiet rooms.
Place it in the centre and forget it
Put the phone on the table or in the middle of the group, microphone facing the conversation. No positioning it after every speaker change, no adjusting between voices.
Less effort, less fatigue
The cognitive load of following a group conversation by lip-reading and reconstructing speech is exhausting. Captio AI handles the following so you can direct your energy toward actually being in the conversation.
60+ languages
For multilingual families, mixed-language social groups, or gatherings where people switch between languages mid-conversation. No setup required between language changes.
No setup between conversations
Open the app and place the phone. No configuration per setting, no briefing the group, nothing to manage between conversations. It works for any group, in any situation.
Why Gujarati is hard to understand
Murmured consonants
- Four-way stop distinction — one class is invisible
- Gujarati has four stop consonant series: voiceless, voiced, aspirated, and murmured (breathy-voiced). The murmured series — bh, dh, gh — are produced with a breathy airflow quality that looks identical to plain voiced stops on the lips. At a family dinner, these distinctions carry meaning that simply cannot be seen.
Vowel nasalization
- Nasal vowels shift meaning without any lip change
- Gujarati uses phonemic nasal vowels: the same vowel shape spoken with or without nasalization produces a different word. This nasalization is purely airflow — no change in lip or jaw position occurs. For a deaf person lip-reading at a gathering, nasalized and non-nasalized vowels are visually the same.
Regional dialect variation
- Saurashtra and Kutchi Gujarati sound different
- Saurashtra Gujarati and Kutchi (a closely related variety) use different vowel qualities from standard Ahmedabad or Surat Gujarati. Family events that bring together members from different regions of Gujarat expose a deaf person to a shifting phonological landscape within a single conversation.
Register drop
- Colloquial speech drops and contracts heavily
- Formal Gujarati and casual family Gujarati differ significantly in phonology and grammar. Casual speech uses contracted verb forms, reduced vowels, and elided syllables that diverge from the more careful pronunciation a deaf person may have learned in literacy contexts.
Diaspora code-switching
- UK, East Africa, and North America gatherings mix Gujarati and English
- Gujarati diaspora communities — among the most globally dispersed — freely mix Gujarati and English, and sometimes Swahili or French, mid-sentence at family gatherings. The phonological system of any given phrase is unpredictable across generations at the same table.

India has an estimated 63 million people with significant hearing loss — the second largest burden of any disability category in the country. Hearing loss accounts for 18.91% of all registered disabilities, and community-based studies report prevalence of disabling hearing loss between 4.5% and 18.3% depending on region and methodology. Among children under six, 476,075 are reported to have some degree of hearing loss nationally. The Gujarati-speaking population — concentrated in Gujarat and distributed across a global diaspora of over 3 million — carries a proportional share of this burden, with rural and lower-income communities facing the highest unmet need.
India's National Programme for Prevention and Control of Deafness (NPPCD) has expanded neonatal screening and community outreach, but service gaps remain severe. The audiometrist-to-population ratio stands at approximately 1:500,000, and the speech therapist-to-deaf-population ratio is 1:200. In the Gujarati diaspora, particularly in the UK and East Africa, deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals face the additional challenge of navigating community social events — garba nights, wedding receptions, temple gatherings — where rapid multilingual conversation is the norm and no captioning infrastructure exists.
Captio AI captions Gujarati conversation in real time on a phone screen — so a deaf family member at a Diwali dinner or a multigenerational gathering in Ahmedabad, Leicester, or Nairobi can follow every story and announcement as it is spoken, without sitting apart from the conversation.

Captio AI processes your 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.
