Ava

Unless noted, features apply to iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, and Browser.

1. Choosing a caption language other than the default requires a paid plan ("This feature is only available to users on a paid plan"). Offline mode recognizes only the default language. English is the documented default; the article list itself names Arabic, Cantonese (Hong Kong), Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Pashto, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Taiwanese, Turkish and Ukrainian.
2. Device-dependent additional recognition languages; the developer does not say which devices. Non-default language selection requires a paid plan.
3. An Ava account (email, phone, Google, Facebook or Apple sign-in) is required to start captioning as a host. People invited to someone else's conversation can join through a link or QR code without an account (see Ava Web guide).
4. Guest access only for joining an existing conversation hosted by an Ava account holder; hosting needs an account.
5. Open to the public, but users must be 13 or older, and minors need parent or guardian approval.
6. Developer-documented download availability is limited to a country list.
7. Free plan gives basic (not Premium) captions with sessions capped at 40 minutes; Premium captions, translation and Scribe need paid offers.
8. Consumer accounts. The help article states training use; the Privacy Policy (Jan 15th, 2025) frames training on audio segments and transcribed text as "if you consent", and the Terms grant a licence to use Recordings to improve the Services. Enterprise data is handled differently (separate fact).
9. Online captioning workflows; mobile offline mode works in airplane mode.
10. Transcripts are processed and stored server-side (US, or EU for EU customers) when saved and in online/group sessions.
11. By request to support; no self-service export of personal data is documented.
12. Ava Connect meeting assistant only (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams), where the meeting host must also admit Ava and allow recording.
13. Session length and human assistance depend on the plan.
14. The listed free offer includes speaker identification and an always-on-top caption bar; device-specific UI and session limits must be checked.
15. Participants join an Ava Room; speaker identity depends on the joined participant workflow.
16. Scribe is an additional human-assisted service in organization/event offers; verify booking, availability and charges.
17. Ava Web or Desktop only; the meeting host must admit Ava (and, in Zoom, allow recording). Documented as available in Canada, France and the United States.
18. iOS only; 5 free Smart Recaps, unlimited on Pro and above. Generated from a saved transcript.
19. Only for captioning a venue sound system at an event. Everyday captioning needs no extra hardware: "You do not need an external microphone (wired or Bluetooth) in order to make Ava work."
