Glasscribe

Glasscribe is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that delivers real-time subtitles for anything on your Mac. It captures system audio or mic input and shows a floating subtitle overlay on top of whatever you're doing. No cloud, no API keys — everything runs 100% on-device using Apple's built-in Speech framework and Neural Engine. Your voice data never leaves your Mac. Unlike other transcription tools, Glasscribe is designed to feel native — it sits quietly in your menu bar, launches instantly, and gets out of your way. Floating Subtitle Overlay — A compact, always-on-top window displays live captions over any application. Perfect for following along with foreign-language content, accessibility, or keeping up with fast-paced meetings without switching windows. System Audio Capture — Transcribe audio playing from any app on your Mac — Zoom calls, YouTube videos, podcasts, online lectures — without installing virtual audio drivers or browser extensions. Just click and it works. 22+ Language
