Bayan GlassCaption floats elegant live-translated captions over any presentation on your Mac. PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva, anything on screen. English to Arabic, and Arabic to English.
The caption layer is click-through glass: it stays above fullscreen slideshows and never interrupts them.
No streaming software, no capture cards, no per-event platform fees. One app, your Mac, and captions your audience can actually read.
A transparent overlay stays on top of fullscreen presentations. Switch slides or switch apps, the captions stay put.
English speech to Arabic captions, or Arabic speech to English captions. Same styling, one switch.
Speech is transcribed on-device. Your voice is processed live and never stored.
It listens for your natural pauses and translates complete clauses, so the word order comes out right, especially in Arabic.
Gold on white glass by default. Size, colours, position and language pair are all tunable.
Your hardware, your rooms, unlimited events. Nothing metered.
Bayan means eloquent, clear speech. Whether the presenter speaks English or Arabic, the room reads along in real time.
Bilingual schools are built on a promise of inclusion. Bayan GlassCaption keeps that promise every time someone speaks: whichever language is at the microphone, the other half of the room reads along, live.
English and Arabic speaking colleagues, speakers switching languages mid-meeting. Everyone follows every speaker without waiting for a summary.
When one parent reads English and the other reads Arabic, the captions carry the conversation. No family member has to translate for another.
Welcome every family in the theater with live captions over the presentation on the big screen, in the language they are most at home in.
Arabic speaking students in English classes see live Arabic support while the teacher just keeps teaching naturally.
Staff and students learning Arabic stay immersed in the real thing while reading English support live.
Visiting presenters speak the language they are strongest in, and the room reads the other. Professional development that includes everyone.
Double-click. No terminal, no setup screens on presentation day.
Pick English → Arabic or Arabic → English, then start listening.
Go fullscreen in any app. Captions float over your slides as you speak.
Speech recognition runs on your Mac. Translation uses an online service with automatic fallbacks, so a normal Wi-Fi connection gives the best results.
Built and tested on Apple Silicon Macs running a recent version of macOS.
Yes. An early test build for Windows is on the download page, right next to the Mac build.
No. Audio is transcribed live and discarded. Nothing is saved to disk.
PowerPoint's subtitles only work inside PowerPoint and translate fragment by fragment. Bayan GlassCaption works over any app, translates complete clauses for natural word order, and lets you style the captions your way.
Free for Al-Bayan Bilingual School staff. Early access pricing for the general public will be announced later. No per-event or per-attendee fees, ever.
