   App 0.4.7: no second cable to hear the call

   • On Mac (macOS 14.6 or later) and Windows, Foniks can listen to your computer’s own sound, so the call plays on your speakers or headphones as usual.
   • On laptop speakers, Foniks stops listening while it speaks a translation to you, so it never translates itself.

   • Translate what I hear starts off, so a laptop’s microphone and speakers work right away.
