Love this app!
I just installed this app and love it! I have been affected by a significant loss and use the typing feature to activate my ‘executive brain’ The typing sound and the repetitive scrolling of to do items and directions keeps me focused. I am also thinking of other healthy things it will assist with . This is an absolute gift. Many blessings!

Useful but annoying to use.
I paid for the app. Being a nonverbal deaf person, I heavily rely on this app to communicate with hearing people. In terms of usage it’s great.
But it’s also annoying in that:
- if pausing listening mode then going back to listening mode several times rapidly, it crashes the app.
- It doesn’t clear screen when first opening the app, so people often will see my last conversation which violates my privacy
- There’s no button to clear screen, so I have to hit pause, listen before it clears the screen, which will crash app sometimes.
- App complains about over 5k items in recognition history every time I launch the app. If it’s a problem purge it yourself, don’t complain to me, I’m deaf, I don’t know what recognition history is nor do I care about it, I just want to freaking use the app without being hassled by it. Those days I just hit cancel and ignore the warning. It’s pointless.
- Can’t use pinch,stretch to alter text size, have to tap +\- to adjust. Counter intuitive.
- I can’t type while they’re speaking. I have to pause listening mode to shut them up before I type otherwise what I am typing is lost. Split pane would be nice so I can listen to them while typing.
Aside from those issues it’s a good app. I recommend it to people often.

For Deaf & Hearing Communication
I tried to find other apps designed for transcription and they all cost money while being ineffective, which is ridiculous since it should be simple to just display spoken or typed words. I find it funny and I’m relieved that this app is free and better than all those other ones.
