What it is

A language-learning app for Mac that turns audio you listen to into sentences you can replay, study, and review with spaced repetition.

Platforms

• Mac: macOS 15 or later, downloaded from lingoclipper.com and signed and notarized by Apple

Languages

• Speech recognition: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, and Spanish, plus automatic detection
• Translation: Apple’s on-device translation into those languages and Traditional Chinese
• Interface: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish

On Mac

• Quick Clip keeps the last 30 seconds of one app’s audio in memory; press ⌥S to capture the sentence that just ended, then check and save it
• Record the selected app’s audio, or import MP3, M4A, WAV, and AIFF files, including over Wi-Fi
• Split audio into sentences, recognize and translate each one, and save any sentence as a clip
• Review saved clips in Today with spaced repetition, and collect words in a local word book

Free and Pro

• Mac Free: up to 100 saved clips, 3 automatic full-recording transcriptions, and recognition of selections up to 30 seconds
• Mac Pro: unlimited clips, unlimited automatic transcription, and recognition of longer sentences and clips
• Mac Pro is a one-time purchase. Launch price US$19 · US$29 after the launch period.

Privacy

• Speech recognition runs on your device; audio is not uploaded for recognition
• No account is required; an email address is used only to buy, claim or recover Mac Pro
• Mac usage statistics are optional and off by default; when on, basic activity, the Mac’s region setting and a hashed random installation ID go to PostHog in the EU
• Wi-Fi import uses plain HTTP on your local network with no pairing code

What it does not do

It doesn’t get around the copy protection (DRM) on videos or music. On Mac, it records the app you choose, not your microphone.
