What's New in Earshot Live Transcription

1.0.2

October 3, 2026

A new max-accuracy model option: • Whisper Large Turbo — our most accurate captioning yet, with the biggest gains for less common languages (Swedish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and many more). Find it in Settings → Transcription model. • It's a 626 MB download and needs a recent iPhone (6 GB+ memory); the first load takes a few minutes while it's optimized for your device. • Base and Small remain great choices for everyday captioning — switch between downloaded models instantly.

Response from developer

Thanks for trying Earshot out! I really appreciate that! Arabic support is a function of the underlying AI model. It should work, but there could be a bug related to Arabic being a RTL language. I am happy to test/debug it noting that I am a single-person app dev and rely on ratings to promote my app for the deaf and hard of hearing communities.
