My wife and I speak different native languages, and sometimes the things we want to watch together simply don't have proper translations or subtitles. When consuming content in another language, most people rely on subtitles, which require a human to create, or real-time auto-captions, which are… well, famously terrible. Seagull started from a simple question: what if any audio on your computer could be translated in real-time? So we set out to build the smartest real-time caption system on the market. That's Seagull! Come say hello on our Discord (where we also talk about future updates and product development), we'd love to hear from you: https://discord.gg/H4hXRf8jmg

This is awesome! 🔥It would be great for watching films that don't have subtitles in a native language by default. Working across different systems is just great system design as well. XD Congrats on the launch 🎉
Congrats on the launch! I'm curious how do you capture audio on Mac, Windows, and Linux? Is it the same lib that supports all of them or different for each OS?
Love that this was born from a real personal need. The bilingual household use case really resonates — my partner and I deal with this exact problem watching shows together. The fact that it works as a system-level overlay across all apps is what sets it apart from the clunky subtitle tools out there.
Hello Eduardo,
did you implement any kind of human feedback? Like if the user would correct something and your system learn about it?
Real-world adoption lives or dies on audio capture and overlay UX: what’s the hardest environment you optimized for (full-screen video, games, Discord/Zoom, multi-monitor, etc.), and what product choices did you make to keep it “zero setup” across Mac/Windows/Linux?
