Navi

Overview

Navi is a real-time captioning and translation app designed for face-to-face communication, instantly converting speech into on-screen text so users can easily 'see' what the other person is saying even in noisy environments or at a distance. Whether assisting people with hearing impairments or enabling cross-language conversations, Navi makes communication natural and fluid.

Powered by advanced speech recognition and machine translation technology, Navi supports real-time translation in over 28 languages. It instantly converts the other party's subtitles into your native language, and can even read the translation aloud for you. Devices can quickly connect over a local network, allowing multiple screens to display synchronized captions for accessible group conversations.

The app offers free on-device caption recognition, with multilingual translation and speech synthesis available via subscription. Navi supports iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision devices, making it an ideal communication companion for people with hearing loss, cross-border couples, travelers, and business professionals.
