Description

Ava uses captions to live transcribe voice to text to provide accessibility for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing (HoH). Ava's speech-to-text app provides 24/7 real-time audio transcription with about 5 errors in 100 words based on AI, and the highest possible accuracy with Ava Scribe at about 1 error in 100 words.

Use Ava to transcribe or live caption voice to text for classrooms, business meetings, doctor’s appointments, shopping, events, and more. Ava's speech-to-text app makes transcribing any live communication easy for friends, family, and organizations to be inclusive, accessible and ADA compliant!

How Ava live captions work:
• Download Ava on your phone to instantly transcribe voice to text from up to a meter away. Teach Ava to improve and learn your vocabulary as it transcribes voice to text by tapping on words to correct them or adding your own custom vocabulary.
• To use voice to text in group conversations, invite users to download the Ava app with a QR code or link so they can connect with you instantly. Ava shows a real-time color-coded transcript of who says what.
• Need accessibility for people who are HoH or Deaf in more complex situations? Use the ‘Discover’ menu to learn how to set up Ava to live transcribe voice to text in any situation!

Great App but massively overpriced more accurate tier.

I have to say this app is very impressive. The free tier managed admirably with most matters but it really kicks up a gear on the mid tier - but wow that tier is so hugely overpriced it’s ridiculous!

While it’s AI learning, don’t be mistaken; it is still your phone that is doing most of the heavy lifting (they use Siri voice assistance support and your phone processor locally) there is absolutely zero justifiable case why it’s so expensive. Only the scribe tier can rightly justify that price.

£5 a month for unlimited mid tier - massive customer growth and you would mop up the sector, but for now you have utterly priced yourself out of the market - such a shame.

Total Garbage at transcription

I’m trying to find a transcription app for my extremely deaf father.

I am aware of the huge leap forward the Open AI algorithm “whisper” has created for transcription.

Now is the time it seems when you can finally do this stuff.

I had a recording of a eulogy given at the funeral of my father’s cousin he’d never been able to hear, due to the reverberance in the recording. It is in Uk English.

Whisper ai astonishingly transcribes with 100% accuracy. I have been using this as my test for transcription software. Unfortunately the whisper app has a bug so it often fails when it doesn’t connect to the internet hence looking for something else.

Ava is mentioned on the web and being good for deaf people.

It’s not.

On my test piece after a minute of eulogy it had identified literally not one word. Total and utter garbage given what is possible with a free open source algorithm that is out there that gives 100% accuracy for this challenging data.

Fact is - if deaf or with poor hearing you need a tool that will work in difficult situations (Ie background noise / reverberance - you’re sitting listening in an echoy hall away from the person giving the talk etc ) this doesn’t even get close. Get an app that’s good for deaf people, that can transcribe speech when you need it to - not this garbage.

App deleted.

Ava will change my life

I have been profoundly deaf since I was 26 I’m now 78 and in the last 15 years or so I know I have become a recluse because it’s easier than saying ‘pardon’ constantly and then I saw on Facebook about Ava and I went in search of the app and I’ve downloaded it and it’s just too good to be true I’ve got a vet’s appointment this afternoon with my sick little dog and struggle to hear or understand my Vet it is a nightmare I’m waiting to see how I go with Ava but as far as I can see I’ve tested it out and it’s absolutely brilliant it’s saved my life I hope it’s not expensive because it would not be an option🙏
