A standard installer for 64-bit Windows. Speech is recognised locally, in English, by a streaming engine that downloads itself, once, the first time you caption. Other spoken languages need a Mac on macOS 26, which uses Apple's own engine.

A microphone the room can actually hear — a ceiling array, a table mic or the lectern feed — and an ordinary internet connection. Frasiey listens to whatever input you pick and shows you a level meter before you commit.

First run
The helper shows a six-character code. Type it into your dashboard and the machine joins your account. The code works once and expires in fifteen minutes.
Which room this machine is gets decided in the dashboard, not on the laptop. Until then the helper simply says it is waiting.
Pick the input, watch the level meter, run a five-second local transcription. If those words come back right, the room will too.
Updates and releases
The helper checks the release feed hourly and installs quietly on the next restart. There is no AV technician to page at seven in the morning.
Deploying by script? Use /download/mac?arch=arm64 (or ?arch=x64 for Intel) and /download/win on updates.frasiey.com. Each redirects to whatever installer is current, so the URL in your runbook never goes stale.
The buttons above point at helper v0.1.0, resolved from the release feed when this page was built (feed).
Free, three captioned hours, no card. Set it up while the installer is still downloading.
