Aria includes:

• Live Captions. On-device speech recognition provides real-time captions during sessions.
• Session Summaries. AI-generated summaries with chapters and key moments, written in the session's spoken language.
• Live Topic Detection. Aria tracks what's being discussed in real time, so latecomers see what they missed.
• Content Moderation. Real-time AI moderation keeps conversations safe and respectful.
• Smart Discovery. AI-driven topic tagging and recommendations help listeners find sessions by interest.

Yes. Live captions are powered by on-device speech recognition, so they work in all session types. Captions are processed locally on your device and are not sent to any server.

After a session ends, Aria generates an AI summary that captures the key topics and moments discussed. Summaries are written in the session's spoken language. Summaries are available in your library.

Aria uses AI-powered content moderation that runs in real time during live sessions. This works alongside human reporting tools available to all users. Session hosts also have moderation controls to mute participants or remove disruptive users. See our Community Guidelines for details on expected behavior.

You can report users and content directly in the app during or after a session. For urgent safety concerns, email safety@aria-live.app. See our Appeals Process if you believe a moderation decision was made in error.

Aria collects your profile information, audio during live sessions (not stored after the session ends unless recorded), chat messages, and usage data to improve the service. Live captions are processed on-device and never leave your phone. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Go to Profile, then Settings, then Delete Account. This permanently removes your profile, connections, subscriptions, and all associated data. This action cannot be undone. Active subscriptions will be canceled and refunded per the Subscriber Agreement.

Aria is built for live conversation with real people. Live captions on your device, an AI Summary after every session, real-time topic detection, recording protection and real-time moderation are built in from the start, not added on. Creator economics are simple and creator-first.
