I woke up around Christmas 2019 I could no longer understand what my now ex husband and kids were saying. I’ve been to numerous ents, also a geneticist, and a neuropathy neurologist. Trying to figure out what has happened? If anyone has a clue please let me know. I’ve had 2Head mri’s. I’m still getting tests trying to figure out what’s wrong with me. But I can still hear sounds not perfectly a lot of sounds I can’t hear anymore like running water, fans etc. But voices are like Charlie Browns parents even tests make them loud but I can’t understand the words anymore. It’s frustrating but thankfully I have this app to help communicate. I wish it stayed in 2.0 all the time it was more of a life saver especially with gatherings I still feel at a loss. But at least I can kinda understand people with the app. Thanks for having the app! Subscriber since I found it in spring 2021. I still don’t know asl. It definitely helps!!

If you want accurate, fast transcription, it’s limited to 5 hours a month. The basic transcription is “Unlimited”, but it’s crap. It either just keeps blinking and listening trying to understand what’s being said or it’s incorrect or it works great for a few minutes and goes back to being crap. I’ve noticed only a few times that Basic works accurately and continuously for more than a few minutes. I’ve also noticed thar Basic works well for a minute right after you switch from Pro. It’s using the same speech recognition from your phone regardless of Basic or Pro so why charge an exorbitantly higher price for Pro quality (after your 5 hours per month is up)? It’s already expensive for the app. iPhone has made a Live Transcription as part of their Accessibility features, but it only recognizes American and Canadian English currently. I happen to need it a lot for Australian and British English, which surprisingly doesn’t get recognized yet. Only way I’ll keep subscribing is if it’s Pro quality all the time. I don’t have time to ask someone to stop talking while I switch modes or try to pay extra for an hour of Pro just so I can understand what they’re saying.

Hi there, I'm sorry our app didn't work out for you. The Pro does not use the same speech recognition and it works very well for most people but I'm sorry it did not work for you. We are currently only a 3 person team and it costs us to provide this Pro service. Feel free to email support@mightyfine.app if you want to contact us in the future about this app.

My husbands hearing loss
06/26/2021

Last Saturday my husband woke up about five am the usual time he gets up turned to me and said I can’t hear a thing when he tried to get up he was extremely dizzy I called our dr he said it’s some inner ear thing I’ll see him Monday since he has no pain. All day Saturday and Sunday he was miserable not able to keep his balance but especially not able to hear anything thing at all..I banged a spoon against a pan he heard nothing. Monday our dr sent us to a specialist my husband had no wax, fluid in the ear or inflammation the dr said it is a rare condition that not much is known about it he injected steroid into his ears that didn’t work as of today he was started on oral steroids. The specialist showed me this app so that I could communicate with my husband it has been a God send. Now I pray his hearing is restored or at least some of his hearing restored 🙏🏻. Thank you so much for this amazing app. Lilly

Essential for my hubby

Can’t thank you enough!
Just like the review I just read, my husband also lost his ability to comprehend the spoken word, seemingly out of the blue. Multiple brain MRIs searched for evidence of tumor or stroke but showed nothing. This began in 2021. It has been diagnosed as receptive aphasia, but a couple of his docs question this. Whatever it is has robbed his ability to communicate. He did months of speech therapy with limited to no improvement but his pathologist recommended Live Transcribe which has been a LIFE SAVER for him and for me too! And for the family who love him and want to talk with him. I highly recommend it. It’s not a cure, but it’s way better than having to write every word I want to communicate with him! Thank you developers so much for this app! I hope you will be able to continue to get this to many other people suffering with this condition. It truly makes a huge difference!

Live Transcribe helps you instantly understand conversations around you... even through face coverings. We squashed some bugs and made some performance improvements to our transcription.
