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. ### 3/5 — It’s useful but needs better *2026-03-11, version 1.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2025-04-15, version 1.2* I like the ease of use, but it regularly crashes. ### 3/5 — Issues with text inputs... *2023-08-29, version 1.1.7* 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. ### 3/5 — Alice *2023-04-16, version 1.1.7* App is useful. But transcript is full of errors. Often makes no sense. Also turning app off with blue/red dot doesn’t work. Transcription continues. Would be very useful if voices could be distinguished. ### 4/5 — App ist gut, aber kann noch verbessert werden *2025-01-09* Die App ist eine großartige Unterstützung für Schwerhörige und Gehörlose. Sie funktioniert sehr gut und erleichtert die Kommunikation enorm. Allerdings gibt es noch Verbesserungspotenzial: Es fehlt eine automatische Interpunktion, sodass Kommas, Punkte und Fragezeichen eigenständig gesetzt werden. Auch die Möglichkeit, Absätze einzufügen, wäre hilfreich, um den Text besser zu strukturieren und die Übersicht zu behalten. Wenn diese Funktionen in einem zukünftigen Update ergänzt werden, verdient die App definitiv volle 5 Sterne. Bis dahin gebe ich 4 Sterne und hoffe auf eine baldige Verbesserung! Bitte um ein Feedback ### 4/5 — Bonne retranscription *2023-01-01* C’est la première application qui retranscrit fidèlement les mots annoncés et qui prend en comte la ponctuation. La possibilité de retourner l’écran est appréciable. Merci ### 4/5 — Simple App to talk to my grandfather *2022-11-25, version 1.1.3* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So very helpful *2025-10-29, version 1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Deaf *2025-09-13, version 1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Review *2025-02-04, version 1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-10-04, version 1.2* Excellent ### 5/5 — Many benefits *2024-01-25, version 1.2* I am hearing impaired and read about this app. Wow thank you, I can now just use my phone to communicate and understand what people are saying to me. Thank you so much for developing this Wish you have 10 star option to rate. 10 stars from me.
