Same-language conversations

Transcribe same-language calls on your Mac

Turn on Same language and choose one Conversation language to keep both real voices live while TCVoiceAI builds optional local History. Translate both speakers' transcripts into another language when useful, or leave transcript translation off.

One-sided setup: Only your Mac runs TCVoiceAI. Your partner joins the same calling app normally while Original audio carries both real voices.

Transcription workflow

Keep the call natural and the transcript useful.

  1. 01

    Turn on Same language

    Use the dedicated switch, then choose the single Conversation language both participants will speak. TCVoiceAI uses Original audio for this session.

  2. 02

    Choose transcript translation

    Leave it off for transcription only, or select another language for both speakers' translated transcripts.

  3. 03

    Choose reply help

    Use Automatic suggestions, or On request mode so Get suggestion appears only under eligible partner messages in History and Floating captions.

  4. 04

    Start and follow along

    Keep both real voices in the call and optionally show recent captions above the full-screen call.

  5. 05

    From call to useful work

    Create a result after the call, review its evidence, then continue with confirmed actions in Work Inbox.

Two useful choices

Transcription only, or an optional translated transcript.

Transcription only

The transcription path sends no translation request and uses no translated-word allowance. History contains each recognized turn without an empty translation block.

Optional transcript translation

Translate both speakers' recognized text into a selected language while their original voices continue in the call.

Optional reply suggestions

Same-language calls can still classify meaningful partner turns and generate a reply. Generated reply words use the shared translated-word allowance.

Private guidance

Because Same language requires Original audio, suggested replies appear in TCVoiceAI as private guidance instead of being played into the call automatically.

Floating captions

Keep recent recognized turns and the current suggested reply readable above supported full-screen calling apps without starting another recognition or translation job.

Saved per profile

A Conversation Profile can remember the same-language setup, Original audio mode, context, vocabulary, and transcript translation preference.

Sessions

Start a session with History enabled to keep it here.

Work Inbox

Confirmed actions move to Work Inbox, where you can set status, owner, due date, reminders, or start a follow-up Session.

From the macOS app

What to know before using this feature.

  • The Same language switch replaces the two participant-language pickers with one Conversation language picker.
  • Same-language sessions use Original audio. Translated voice becomes available again after turning Same language off and choosing two different conversation languages.
  • When transcript translation is off, transcription itself sends no translation request and consumes no translated-word allowance.
  • Suggestion routing and generation are separate from transcript translation. Generated primary-language reply words use the shared translated-word allowance at the active plan rate.
  • On request mode can show Get suggestion under an eligible partner turn in History or Floating captions without generating or charging for a reply first.
  • Floating captions show recent turns only; the complete local conversation remains in the active profile’s History.
  • History remains optional and is stored locally per Conversation Profile on your Mac.
  • CSV export represents transcription-only turns cleanly without adding empty translation sections.
  • Result creation is manual by default. You can explicitly enable one reviewable result after Stop; nothing is published or sent automatically.
  • Summaries and saved work results share the same AI output unit and source-conversation-word allowance.
  • Speech recognition availability still depends on language support and permissions on the current Mac.
  • Compatible calling apps still use TCVoiceAI Mic and TCVoiceAI Speaker for the two audio directions.
