Question 1

Does Captio AI handle gheada — where Galician 'g' is pronounced as a velar or glottal fricative in western Galicia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI handles gheada, which is widespread in A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, and much of western Galicia.

Question 2

Does it handle seseo in coastal Galician dialects where /s/ and /θ/ merge?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI handles the seseo variants found in coastal Galician, which differ phonologically from standard Galician.

Question 3

Does it handle Galician–Spanish code-switching in the same meeting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When colleagues switch from Galician to Spanish mid-sentence, Captio AI captures both languages without losing the transition.

Question 4

Does it handle the Portuguese-influenced Galician spoken near the Portuguese border?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI handles Galician varieties with strong Portuguese-influence phonology, including those spoken in Ourense and the Miño valley.

Question 5

Does it work for a Galician video call on Teams or Zoom?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Play the call on speaker and Captio AI captions Galician in real time, handling dialect variation and code-switching.

Question 6

Does it handle formal official Galician used in Xunta de Galicia or public sector meetings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI handles formal written-register Galician as well as casual conversational speech.

Question 7

Can I get a full Galician meeting transcript afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Record the meeting audio and run it through Audio Transcription for a searchable written record in Galician.

Question 8

Does Captio AI work for a Galician job interview or performance review?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI captions one-on-one formal Galician conversations in real time so you follow every piece of feedback accurately.

Question 9

Does Captio AI work in video call meetings on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI works by listening through your phone's microphone. Put the call on speaker and point the phone toward the audio. Captions appear in real time regardless of which conferencing platform is being used.

Question 10

How do I position the phone in a conference room?

Accepted Answer

Place it flat on the table in front of you, microphone facing the centre of the room or toward the most active speaker. A small phone stand keeps it stable without drawing attention. For video calls, point it toward your laptop's speaker output.

Question 11

What if multiple people speak at once?

Accepted Answer

Captio AI follows the dominant voice at any moment — whoever is speaking loudest in the microphone's direction. In a normal meeting room this tracks the active speaker. Genuine simultaneous crosstalk follows the loudest voice, which mirrors how hearing works in the same situation.

Question 12

Does it work for stand-ups and small team meetings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stand-ups, 1:1s, retrospectives, and larger all-hands are all handled the same way — place the phone on the table, point it toward whoever is speaking, and read along in real time.

Question 13

Can I use Captio AI in meetings without telling anyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The app runs quietly on your phone. You can place it on the table or hold it without drawing attention. Audio is processed in real time and discarded immediately — nothing is recorded or stored.

Question 14

Can I get a written transcript of the meeting afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Record the meeting audio on your phone and upload it to Audio Transcription. You get a full written transcript organised by speaker — useful for reviewing decisions, confirming action items, or sharing notes with your team.

Question 15

Does it work for all-hands meetings and large presentations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In a venue with a PA system, point the phone's microphone toward a speaker output. The PA audio gives a clean signal. In smaller rooms without PA, the phone on your desk captions the speaker at the front.

Question 16

What about meetings in another language or with international colleagues?

Accepted Answer

Use Live Translator. Your colleagues speak their language — you read the translation in real time. Works across 60+ languages with no manual setup between speakers or language switches.

Question 17

Is using Captio AI a reasonable workplace accommodation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Captio AI is an accessibility tool equivalent to any other hearing accommodation. In most jurisdictions, employers are legally required to make reasonable accommodations for deaf and hard of hearing employees. Using a captioning app at work is a recognised accommodation.

Question 18

What if the meeting room has poor acoustics or echo?

Accepted Answer

Position the phone as close as possible to the nearest speaker — either the person talking or a PA output. Closer proximity reduces the impact of room acoustics. In very echoey rooms, accuracy may be slightly reduced but captions remain useful.
