Bølge

Bølge turns live radio into something you can read. Tune in to a news or sports station and the words appear on screen as they are spoken — as real sentences, with capital letters and punctuation. Recognition uses Apple's speech technology, on your device wherever iOS supports the language. Bølge doesn't record audio, runs no servers of its own and needs no account.

Translation runs on your device; speech recognition does too wherever iOS supports the language, otherwise it goes through Apple's speech service.
