Phone calls made accessible.
Rylo provides real-time, AI-powered call captions on every phone call for anyone who is deaf or has hearing loss. Captioned calls are private and accurate.
MAKE AND RECEIVE ANY CALL
Rylo works like your native phone app, but with speech-to-text call captions. If you prefer to type your responses, you can choose a voice and use our text-to-speech feature. No interpreters. No relay services. No strangers listening in.
LIVE CAPTIONS FOR REAL LIFE
Our built-in feature, Rylo Live Transcribe, captions in-person conversations instantly: family dinners, doctor's appointments, airports, or anywhere else you don't want to miss a word.
YOUR PRIVACY IS PROTECTED
Captions are generated with end-to-end encryption. No human involvement. No one reading your calls but you.
BUILT FOR THE DEAF COMMUNITY, BY THE DEAF COMMUNITY
Rylo was built with direct input from the Deaf and hard of hearing communities. Every feature exists because someone in the community needed it. Accessibility matters.

"I was able to make a phone call myself. I set up my own appointment. I could clearly read every word the recipient was saying to me. I explained to her I was deaf and I was using closed captioning. It was amazing. Thank you Rylo for allowing me to be more independent." — Verified user

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund.
There are also eligibility requirements and a cost, paid by a federally administered fund for each minute of IP Relay service.
Emergency calling through Rylo works similar to, but not the same as, calling 911 directly through a landline. It is important to keep your Rylo Registered Location updated.
I just had the best experience with Nagish support, I simply had to tell you about it. As most of you know, getting support for anything nowadays is frustrating and definitely not easy to say the least. Good technical support and talking with a person instead of a bot is very hard to come by, too. Not so with Nagish! It was wonderful from start to finish and over a holiday weekend to boot.To explain. I sent in a question re: the call forwarding feature in the Nagish app on Aug 31 at about 11 PM. It did not seem to work as expected. Early and throughout the next day, I received several emails asking for clarification and/or more info, with the last one asking for an ok to conduct test calls to ensure all was ok.Both incoming and outgoing calls (a total of 4) were tested this morning on Labor Day. There was a minor problem with the 1st incoming call. It was something that I considered a “no biggie”. But Laura T, the Nagish rep that I was working with, said “nope… we want to take care of that, too.” Sure enough, they did just that! Problem solved.In addition, Laura then sent me links to 2 articles to instruct me how to do other things that I came up during our calls that morning.Talk about going above and beyond. Laura and the Nagish engineers exceeded my expectations and I am sooo very grateful.I highly recommend the Nagish app to get captions on both incoming and outgoing calls without having callers use 2 separate numbers to reach me. Nagish takes you thru step by step so setup is easy, too. You won’t be disappointed. Kudos to Nagish and its staff! High fives to all!
Giving me a voice after being without one for so long

As a person with a speech disability this app has been a game changer for me. Having calls be automatically captioned AND able to be responded to via text in real time has literally upped my quality of life and ability to function independently by so much. Not only is the captioning the most accurate I have found ANYWHERE else, but there’s customization surrounding the voice that speaks back to the other caller as well—they can have a high or low voice, have certain phrases pre-set for when introducing yourself on a phone call, etc. My voicemail greeting (which I can type up and have automatically read and recorded by the app) specifically states that I am unlikely to be able to respond quickly via phone call if someone is leaving me a message, and asks that if they need a prompt response to leave an email address or text number that I can interact with from an accessible method. The number of angry messages I have gotten from people thinking I am ignoring them when I have been unable to contact them by phone went from being at least twice a week to NONE since using this app. I have stopped missing doctor’s appointments, calls from friends, and calls from my bank because I can actually interact with them as they call, regardless of my verbal abilities. The UI is intuitive, syncs easily and consistently with my regular phone service (T-Mobile), and is the number one app I use every day. Could not recommend this app more, to be honest. If you’re on the fence about whether or not the setup time would be worth it or if it will be difficult to work with, I would give it a chance. It might change your life.

Omg!!!!! this app has changed my entire way of talking on the phone. I would say 100 times what? Repeat that? Can’t understand what you’re saying. Now since I’ve gotten this app best thing I’ve ever had. I haven’t said what did you say or anything like it since I got it !What I don’t hear, I can read now I have to say it’s the best thing I’ve ever had!!!! I even commented to a friend yesterday that I was with in a car, and I said to her as she was talking to me G I wish you came with closed captioning and she just giggled. She was like yeah I know that’s my only wish now is that people came with closed captioning!Thank you thank you Nagish for making this app available but even more making it no cost because I don’t think I would’ve been able to get it if I had to pay for it! You guys are the absolute Best!!!!!!
Better than Captioncall

I’m hearing impaired and am so glad that I found a better app. I always did have difficulty in hearing what people are saying on the phone. Initially I was using Captioncall app and was not to pleased using it as it didn’t provide any international calls at all. I wanted to talk with my close relatives in another country and Rylo app provide free calls internationally so that made me so happy! I can finally talk with my relatives. This app is so useful and helpful for me to communicate with my friends and family. Not only that it also helps transcribe what people are saying to you when you’re having trouble hearing when going out to stores, hospitals or restaurants etc… I find that very helpful. Am so glad I found this app. Thank you for developing it.
