It’s useful but needs better

I’m writing this in hope that one day this app could flourish. Most app you have to pay for them and it’s not easy if you don’t have the funds. Unfortunately I am that person who struggle with work. This app I found and I’m trying it out and I do love some features it has but the one feature I feel that needs work is the speech recognition or transcription. It doesn’t really help if it’s not the exact words that are spoken and it’s very finicky. I know app charge to better the app and honestly I understand the concept and unfortunately this app would need true Ai system to get it off the ground. I know some people hate it but Ai is a tool meant to help not replace.

So very helpful

Thank you so much. I lost my hearing a year ago and this app has been a sanity saver! The fact that it becomes more intuitive the more I use it and the ability to save and review conversations is so. very much appreciated. I am very forgetful, so the ability to review instructions is wonderful. I am also able to copy and paste into my iOS notes to keep track of appointments etc.

Deaf

The best I’ve tried, it was worth it, I’m really loving it… I can’t lose this, it’s very important to me. Communication for the deaf was easy with this app. Congratulations to the excellent team!

Crashes

I like the ease of use, but it regularly crashes.

Review

It works pretty well. Very satisfied. I use it to help my great grandma (who is very hard of hearing) understand what is being said to her. It’s truly worth it. She feels more included in daily life and we don’t have to repeat ourself 100 times. It’s saved her a lot of heartache.
