## What is Deaf Transcriber?

Hearing loss shouldn't mean missing out.

Restaurants, family dinners, work meetings, doctor appointments — when you can't hear clearly, you feel left out. Disconnected. Like you're on the outside looking in.

HearingPal changes that.
HearingPal is the deaf transcriber app built for the Hard of Hearing community.

It transcribes speech to text in real time — so you can read every word as it's spoken. And it amplifies sound through your AirPods or any headphones, turning them into a hearing aid. No expensive hardware. No complicated setup. Just your iPhone.

• Live Transcribe — words appear on screen the moment they're spoken
• Hearing Aid Mode — amplify and clarify sound through any headphones or AirPods
• HoH Captions — follow one-on-one and group conversations in real time
• Works Everywhere — restaurants, meetings, classes, doctor appointments, anywhere
• Accurate Deaf Transcription — advanced recognition built for the Hard of Hearing
• Noise Reduction — speech clarity even in loud, noisy environments
• Large, Readable Text — designed for comfort and low vision
• Offline Mode — works without an internet connection
• People with hearing loss or hearing impairment
• The d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HoH) community
• Anyone who struggles to follow conversations in noisy places
• Older adults experiencing age-related hearing loss
• Families and carers supporting loved ones with hearing difficulties

Traditional hearing aids cost thousands. HearingPal is the affordable, always-with-you alternative that fits in your pocket.

We built HearingPal for the Hard of Hearing community — so you can walk into any room with confidence, follow any conversation, and feel like yourself again.

Join thousands of HoH users who rely on HearingPal every single day.

Your audio is processed on-device where possible. We never sell your data.

HearingPal is built with the Hard of Hearing community — not just for them.

Download HearingPal and follow every conversation with confidence.

### 1/5 — Not accurate enough

*2026-07-16*

I’ve tried almost every transcription app. This one simply uses the built in transcription that’s already available on your phone, so there’s no need to pay for it and there are much better apps on the App Store that offer significantly better transcription quality which is important for deaf. Not recommended.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-05-22*

Green app absolutely wonderful it saves conversations and is accurate

**Developer response:** Thankyou - I’m glad it helps you.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-18*

Easy to use and works well in busy public places
