Description

An easy to use tool for speech to text. Makes communicating with hard of hearing and deaf persons easier.

This app performs live captioning of speech. To use the app, just hit the microphone button and begin speaking. The spoken words are converted to text and displayed on the screen. To stop the captioning, press the microphone button again. Use this app to help communicate and record what was said.

This app can be helpful for talking with deaf and hard of hearing persons. It can also help with ESL (English as a Second Language) persons and those who are not comfortable speaking English and prefer to read it. It can also help those that want to take a break from lipreading.

Features
- Live transcribing of speech
- Scalable font size
- Screen rotation to point the microphone at the speaker
- Four text color options
- Save transcripts to file or send via SMS
- Support for English, Spanish, and French languages

Thank you for your interest in the app!

Great app,

Great app. It’s actually works, great value for money, adjusting the text size is easy.
could really do with a UK English language,
Other than that it’s brilliant 5*

Great for consultations wearing a mask

Great app. Have just downloaded this and it will be great to use with patients with hearing impairment who cannot lip read while I’m wearing a mask. No issues so far

Love this app! It transcribes the spoken word really well. The ability to adjust the text size up to very large, and to rotate the text, means that having a distanced conversation when wearing a face mask (where is is not practical to lower thi) is greatly improved.

The ability to switch off the send transcript option in the phone settings, provides user confidence that all text is cleared at the end of the conversation.
