How Live Caption Mode Works

Live Caption Mode is one of Codexa's most powerful features. Let's dive into how it works.

The Technology

Our real-time transcription engine provides:

  • Sub-200ms latency
  • High accuracy for technical terms
  • Speaker identification (you vs others)

    • How It Works

    1. **Audio Capture** - Codexa captures multi-channel audio from your selected input devices

    2. **Streaming** - Audio is processed in real-time with minimal latency

    3. **Transcription** - Speech is converted to text with speaker identification

    4. **Display** - Captions appear in an always-on-top overlay with auto-clear on silence

    Customization Options

  • Font size and style
  • Number of visible lines
  • Auto-hide when silent
  • Transparency settings

    • Best Practices

  • Use a good quality microphone
  • Reduce background noise
  • Position the overlay where it doesn't obstruct important content
