Every situation covered
Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
In Serbia, a slava — the family patron saint's day celebration — gathers multiple generations around one table, with overlapping conversations in toasts, stories, and jokes that run for hours.
Friend groups at a kafana (traditional Serbian tavern) stretch across long tables where conversations flow freely, everyone speaking at once over food and music.
Meeting old friends over burek and coffee in a local bakery, catching up on news and family gossip without any formality — the conversations that matter most in Serbian social life.
Neighbourhood gatherings or local community council meetings where multiple people speak at once, interruptions are normal, and decisions are made loudly.
A Sunday family lunch (rucak) where grandparents, parents, and children all eat together, switching between stories, laughter, and arguments across three generations.
Late-afternoon sitting on a terrace with neighbours and friends — the kind of unplanned social gathering that starts at four and runs well into the evening.

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 Serbian is hard to understand
Pitch Accent Invisibility
- Four tones, zero lip trace
- Serbian has a four-way tonal accent system — short rising, short falling, long rising, long falling. These distinctions change word meaning but produce no visible lip difference. Two words that sound completely different look identical on a speaker's face.
Ekavian vs. Ijekavian Split
- Same word, different vowels, same lips
- Standard Serbian uses Ekavian vowels (mleko) while speakers from Bosnia and Montenegro use Ijekavian (mlijeko). At a table with guests from different parts of the former Yugoslavia, the same word looks different on every speaker's lips.
Fast Syllable Elision
- Syllables that never reach the lips
- In casual Serbian, unstressed syllables drop rapidly. Hoces li collapses to ces li, nije becomes n'je. What the ear catches as a syllable never forms on the lips — a deaf person loses words before they begin.
Consonant Cluster Cascade
- Word boundaries vanish at group speed
- Serbian tolerates long consonant clusters (crv, strm, trg). In relaxed group speech these compress further and word boundaries become nearly impossible to identify on lips alone.
Diaspora Code-Switching
- Serbian-German mid-sentence
- At family gatherings in diaspora communities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Serbian code-switches freely with German or English. The phonological system changes mid-sentence, producing confusing lip patterns for anyone trying to track one language at a time.

Hearing loss in Serbia: the scale of daily exclusion
Approximately 7 million people live in Serbia, and extrapolating from GBD 2019 findings — which estimated that one in five people globally experience some form of hearing loss — suggests roughly 1.4 million Serbs navigate daily life with diminished hearing. Among adults over 60, rates climb considerably, meaning that the grandparents at the head of the slava table, the people most central to Serbian family gatherings, are disproportionately likely to be missing the conversation around them.
Serbia ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2009 and passed the Law on Prevention of Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities, yet provision for deaf and hard of hearing citizens remains thin. Serbian Sign Language is used by approximately 3,000 to 5,000 people, but interpreter availability is sparse outside Belgrade. Television captioning obligations exist in principle but are inconsistently enforced, leaving deaf viewers without access to news and public information.
Captio AI captions Serbian conversation in real time — whether a slava toast in Ekavian or a diaspora kitchen mixing Serbian and German — so deaf and hard of hearing people can follow every voice at the table, not piece together what they may have missed.

What you hear stays with you.
Gone the moment it ends
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.
Not used to train anything
What you say in a doctor's appointment or a job interview never ends up in a training dataset. Not ours. Not anyone else's.
