About
Ora is a real-time speech translation app for Mac that runs entirely on-device using Apple Silicon. It captures microphone input, detects speech, transcribes it, and translates it into another language using an on-device LLM — all without any internet connection, account, or cloud service. The result is streamed as captions in near real-time at roughly 600ms latency.
Problem
People need accurate, low-latency speech translation in environments where internet access is unavailable or privacy is a concern, but existing solutions require cloud connectivity and accounts.
For
Mac users on Apple Silicon who need real-time speech translation without internet or cloud dependency
How it works
Ora uses a four-stage pipeline — audio capture, voice activity detection, on-device speech recognition, and on-device LLM translation — all running locally on Apple Silicon via MLX Swift and Metal GPU.
