Description
BeAware is the most advanced communication tool for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community with the latest features that do not exist on other apps! It even hit top 5 on Ycombinator's HackerNews!
Are you tired of using apps with bad user experience, while being forced to watch ads and paying $50 a year for functionality that you need to use everyday?
Look no further, BeAware is the only free, privacy-safe, no-ads, open-source, completely offline, battery-efficient app designed for Deaf users.
With a proven and award-winning development process, BeAware was built from the ground-up with the deaf community in mind.
It would not have been possible without the help of 100's of volunteers, testers and dozens of design and development iterations.
- BeAware comes with a customizable Alert tool, that can detect loud noises and communicate that to the deaf using vibrations, LED flashes, and sending notifications to your phone and connected Apple Watch. So now, a Deaf new mom can leave the app running and get alerted if her baby is crying, or a Deaf delivery driver can move to the side to make way for emergency vehicles.
- BeAware comes with the fastest Speech-to-Text transcription tool that is optimized for accuracy and works in any language that is set in the device Settings
- The Text functionality is the best note pad app for the Deaf. The "Preset phrases" feature can make note taking a breeze and the "Flip Text" provides ease while showing the note. Enjoy your custom order at the coffee shop, without having to retype it every time, or having to turn your phone around.
- Play Text - The Text tool also comes with a unique ability to Play the Text that you type in through your voice and video phone calls! So if you are not able to speak over the phone in an interview, you can just type out your responses and have the phone play it to the other side of your call. The language of the speech depends on the one selected in your settings
- Emoji Board allows you to communicate with people who don't use ASL using emoji or images uploaded from your photo gallery
*Users with Usher Syndrome can switch the phone to dark mode to view the app designed to accommodate them.

Ratings and Reviews
Simple App to talk to my grandfather
It’s very easy to use. You can’t have an entire conversation but you can record, line by line, and everyone can follow along.
Issues with text inputs...
1. Icon options seem to be cropped when using larger text display zoom in my iPhone 12 mini (iOS v16.6).
2. I get no audio when typing in my texts and hitting iPhone's play button icon left of X, FLIP TEXT, text size, etc.
Makes iPhone extremely hot.
I’m surprised other people aren’t commenting on it over heating their phones. I try to use the microphone function and within a few minutes the phone is too hot to touch. Also it doesn’t work in noisy environments, which is where I really need the help. For me pretty much a useless app.
