Much more accurate than free transcribe on phone and better than other subscriptions I have tried. Just used in a loud restaurant and it was very accurate. It captured all four speakers at our table and no speakers at tables very nearby.

I have struggled to understand the garbled-sounding words spoken to me by restaurant drive-thru staff. Today I turned on this app before I ordered. I could watch my phone screen and read an exact transcript of my ordering conversation.

Developer Response
That’s exactly the kind of situation we hope Relay can help with. Drive-thru speakers can be really difficult to understand, so I’d love to hear how it works for you there.
