Can Rylo Desktop caption videos, podcasts, or other audio on my computer?

Rylo Desktop captions live calls only. Here's what that covers.

No. Rylo Desktop captions live calls, not all the audio on your computer.

Rylo is certified by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to caption real-time conversations with real people. So Rylo Desktop captions calls in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack Huddles, FaceTime, Discord, and Webex and other meeting and calling tools.

What Rylo Desktop doesn't caption

  • YouTube and other video sites

  • Movies and TV shows on streaming services

  • Podcasts, audiobooks, and music

  • Video or audio files saved on your computer

Is Rylo Desktop listening to everything?

No. Rylo Desktop doesn't listen to or record any audio until you start captions. Once you do, it only captions your live call. Learn more about how call detection works.
