Real-Time Translation for Mac
Caliptic Translate is built for Apple Silicon. It translates the audio your Mac plays and the speech it hears, entirely on the machine.
Built for Apple Silicon
The speech models are optimised for Apple Silicon and keep up with natural conversation. Nothing is sent to a server, and once installed everything works offline.
Speak in your own voice
On a Mac, your outgoing translation can be spoken with Apple Personal Voice — the voice macOS trained on you — in real time and entirely on device.
What you need
macOS 15 Sequoia or later on an Apple Silicon Mac, plus a one-time model download of about 1 GB. There is no account to create.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
No. Caliptic needs an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 15 Sequoia or newer. The speech models are optimised for that hardware, which is what makes real-time translation possible without a server.
What exactly can it translate on my Mac?
Two sources: the audio your Mac plays — any meeting app, browser tab, video or podcast — and the microphone, for a conversation with someone in front of you. You choose which one to listen to.
Is there a Windows version?
Yes. The Windows version needs Windows 10 21H2 or later, a 64-bit processor with AVX2 and 8 GB of RAM, and translates the same sources on-device. Apple Personal Voice is a Mac-only feature.
