How does Celyn ensure user privacy during translation?
Celyn processes all audio and translation entirely on your Mac using Apple's built-in speech and translation frameworks. This means no audio is recorded, no transcripts are saved, and no data is sent to external servers, ensuring your conversations remain private.
What specific audio sources can Celyn translate from?
Celyn can translate audio from your microphone (for in-person conversations or calls), system audio (for content like YouTube videos or podcasts), or both simultaneously, providing flexibility for different translation needs.
Is an internet connection required for Celyn to function?
No, Celyn works completely offline. All processing is done on-device, so you do not need an internet connection, API keys, or an account to use its translation features.
How does Celyn integrate with the macOS user interface?
Celyn integrates directly into your Mac's notch, displaying real-time subtitles there. This design choice aims to provide a non-intrusive experience, placing translations where your eyes naturally focus without cluttering your screen with additional windows.
What is the update policy for Celyn after purchase?
Celyn offers free updates via Sparkle, ensuring that users who make a one-time purchase will continue to receive new features and improvements without additional costs.
