Ratings and Reviews
Well-built, versatile app for the DHH
I have auditory processing disorder. I wish there was a way for the 2-way conversation feature in this app to allow for keyboards on both ends of the screen for parties to type back & forth. I notice on my iPad that the 2-way conversation feature only fills 1/3 of the screen, making the text quite tiny. If someone is verbalizing to me, this app will transcribe, but then when I type back it has no text-to-speech feature.
As for home sounds/alarm sounds, that’s a feature I personally don’t need. I can hear sounds in general. I just neurologically have limited speech comprehension.
Needs some work
Has potential. But: 1) There’s text missing in the Privacy section of the Settings. 2) No obvious or intuitive instructions. For Deaf folks you’d want a captioned video explaining how to use it, too. We didn’t know what to do.
The text feature is useful. Reminds us of the Ubi Duo device but on your phone.
