What it is

Ray-Ban Meta integrates a wake-word triggered mic array, then streams to Meta AI. Meta has previewed live captioning and translation features for future firmware, but the shipping consumer feature is voice-Q&A, not transcript output.

Best for: Content creators and walk-around users who want hands-free voice queries with a visual context.
Watch out for: Audio is processed in Meta's cloud — privacy posture documented in Meta's smart-glasses privacy policy; no captioning mode in the consumer build.
