CLUSTER MAC-SUBTITLES-AUDIO · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-23

Mac live translation apps

This cluster consists of Mac apps that perform real-time transcription and translation of audio or video, displaying translated subtitles and often speaking the translation aloud for two-way conversations or media viewing. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as it predates the index or its members are undated, with no pre-index entry counts available. Traction leaders by activity signal are macdub and AI-Viewing-Companion, each with 1 star, followed by Youtube-Video-Bangla-Translator with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
