The software boasts features such as fast captioning with cloud-enhanced transcription, translation capabilities for over 140 languages, and an AI assistant that can summarize conversations and answer questions. It also includes speaker identification and language detection, making it compatible with a variety of smart glasses and platforms.
XRAI offers different subscription plans to cater to users' economic needs. The ‘Essentials’ plan provides on-device transcription for free, while the ‘Premium’ and ‘Ultimate’ plans offer more advanced features at monthly costs of £19.99 and £49.99, respectively.
