Oralion

Real-time captions

ONE-TAP OPEN

No URL hunting

The lion icon sits on your Home Screen and opens without the usual browser toolbar.

SAME FEATURES

Broadcast and watch

Your login, plan, rooms, captions, translation, voice, and noise reduction work just like the website.

NO MANUAL UPDATES

Always current

Feature updates arrive from the website automatically—there is no store update to download.

WHAT THIS IS

This is an installable web app (PWA)

Installed Oralion gets its own Home Screen icon and standalone window, while remaining a secure HTTPS web app. It needs no app-store package and does not create a separate account or duplicate your data.

Installation does not make transcription work offline. Speech recognition, translation, rooms, and voice still require a stable connection. Offline, Oralion shows a clear connection notice rather than replaying stale captions.

IPHONE · IPAD · SAFARI

Complete iPhone / iPad installation guide

Safari does not let a website open the system installation dialog directly; you complete installation from the Share menu.

  1. 1

    Open Oralion in Safari

    Go to oralionapp.com in Safari. Avoid the small in-app browser inside a social app.

  2. 2

    Open the Share menu

    Tap Safari's Share button (a square with an upward arrow). In some layouts, tap More first, then Share.

  3. 3

    Choose “Add to Home Screen”

    Scroll down in the Share menu and tap it. If it is missing, tap Edit Actions at the bottom and add “Add to Home Screen.”

  4. 4

    Turn on “Open as Web App”

    Confirm the name is Oralion, enable this option, then tap Add. The lion icon will appear on your Home Screen.

See Apple's official guide: Turn a website into an app in Safari on iPhone.

ANDROID · GOOGLE CHROME

Complete Android installation guide

Chrome can show a native installation dialog. If no prompt appears, you can still install from the browser menu.

  1. 1

    Open Oralion in Chrome

    Go to oralionapp.com in Google Chrome and let the Home page finish loading.

  2. 2

    Tap Oralion's Install button

    When the install prompt appears at the bottom, tap Install. Chrome will open its system confirmation dialog.

  3. 3

    If there is no prompt, use the menu

    Tap Chrome's ⋮ menu, then choose Install app or Add to Home screen. Wording may vary by phone.

  4. 4

    Confirm and open from Home Screen

    Tap Install in the system dialog. Open the lion icon afterward to use Oralion in its standalone app window.

For Chrome's installation criteria and prompt behavior, see Chrome for Developers' PWA installation guide.

AFTER INSTALLATION

Four things to know

You remain in control of permissions

Microphone or screen/tab-audio permission is requested only when you start a broadcast and choose that source.

Android includes quick shortcuts

On supported Android launchers, hold the Oralion icon to jump directly to Broadcast or Viewer.

Removing the icon does not cancel billing

Removing the web app only deletes the launcher icon; it does not delete your account, Credits, or cancel a paid plan.

No push notifications for now

Oralion currently sends no marketing or room push notifications. Installation is simply a faster way to open it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why can't iPhone install in one tap?

This is a Safari platform restriction, not an Oralion error. A website cannot operate the Share menu or approve Home Screen installation for you.

Does it work offline after installation?

No. Real-time transcription, translation, and rooms require a connection. The app shows a clear offline page; tap Reconnect after your network returns.

Will installation use much storage or save audio?

No. The web app keeps only small launch icons and the offline notice. Installation does not download or cache rooms, account data, audio, or live captions.

What happens when I change phones?

Repeat the installation steps on the new phone and sign in to your existing Oralion account. Your plan and Credits belong to the account, not the old icon.

READY

You can also start before installing

Installing the web app is optional; every core feature remains available directly in your browser.
