We're delighted to introduce our Ava smartphone feature*:

The subtitle banner on your iOS device! Ava is now able to provide "floating" subtitles (picture-in-picture) on your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to subtitle everything from YouTube to TikTok to Spotify 🙌

(*Only available on iOS devices running iOS 15 or higher.)

Follow the guide below to learn how to use it!

To activate the closed captioning banner on iOS, open the Ava app (or download it for free here), start a conversation and simply swipe from the bottom to the top of the screen with your finger.

Hold down the floating Captions by pressing and move it across the screen, then release to retain the position. Please note that the banner can only be moved to one of the four corners of the screen.

You can hide the captioning banner on the left or right edge of the screen by dragging it to either edge. To make the captioning banner reappear, simply touch the arrow :

To get a live transcription of a video on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Spotify or elsewhere, just open the app and Ava will start subtitling the video! (Don't forget to turn up the volume so that Ava can "listen" to the video's audio) :

To mute the microphone, simply press the ⏹ icon on the Ava subtitle banner. To unmute, simply press the icon ▶️.

To return to the Ava application, tap on the subtitling banner to bring up the options, then tap on the icon in the top right-hand corner

To close the Ava application directly from the captioning banner, press the X icon in the top left-hand corner:
