Live Captions by Subanana
Product Hunt Lakshya Singh
Subanana says it can caption tricky languages better by sending each one to the best speech model. It also turns the same audio into summaries and docs, not just subtitles.

Most transcription tools make a simple bet: one AI vendor, everywhere. That works fine until the audio stops being easy English. Subanana is taking a different route. It says each language gets sent to whichever speech model does that language best, instead of forcing everything through one system.
That matters most where transcription tools tend to stumble. The product points to real spoken Cantonese as the kind of speech single-vendor tools often mangle. If the routing works as advertised, the pitch is less about fancy captions and more about finally treating multilingual speech as multilingual speech.
The output also goes beyond subtitles. The same audio can be turned into meeting summaries and publish-ready documents, which gives the tool a second job after the live or recorded captioning is done. And that makes the workflow feel less like a one-off utility and more like a small content pipeline.
Subanana says you can paste a YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook link, or upload a file. There’s a free try-before-you-pay setup for export, which is the right move for a product making a quality claim. If it can really pick the best model per language, that’s the sort of boring-seeming plumbing that can save a lot of very unglamorous pain.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right kind of AI product: not another swaggering model demo, just a smarter route around a known mess. One-vendor-everywhere sounds neat until language gets messy, which it usually does. The market has spent long enough pretending English is the whole internet.
