What's New in eyeHear

1.7.3

November 4, 2026

• The caption screen now starts blank instead of showing your last caption. When a caption is done, tap New at the top left to clear the screen and start over. Nothing is deleted: History keeps your captions as before. • If eyeHear has been in the background for 5 minutes or more, a finished caption clears when you come back, so an old conversation isn't the first thing you see. • In typing mode, notices no longer cover what you type, the keyboard button no longer covers the ends of your lines, and your text grows larger at the biggest text sizes. • VoiceOver now names the typing area "Note" and reads typing mode in order. • Error screens now show the support code right under the heading instead of further down. • Stronger contrast on the Allow button when you first open eyeHear, on Try Again, and on the main button of error screens.

Good but there’s a gap

Used this with grandma! Touch&Hold to talk (PTT) + auto clear is perfect. But, inability to adjust font is a real miss. Grandma reads pretty well (even smaller sized font) but the font face used by eyeHear gave her trouble. Consequently we gave up. Dev, u have to make font face options.

What have you done?!?!

This app used to work very well for me to communicate with my elderly Dad - but once it updated, it’s basically useless. Cuts off the last word of every sentence and simply doesn’t work 90% of the time. Please fix it

Incredible

This app is truly a godsend. It has helped me so much! Thank you for developing such a helpful application.

In a future update, it’d be great to be able to adjust the size of the font displayed.

In additon, I wish you didn’t have to hold your finger down on the screen as the person talks.

It’s nearly perfect.

Excellent

I use this all the time. Especially helpful when someone is wearing a mask. The quality of transcription is unusually accurate. Thank you eyehear!
