Stone deaf

I’m 100% deaf (happened overnight😳) so this app is my only “ears”. Great help in a supermarket and with family too. Don’t know what my 2 year old grandson sounds like and really miss music. Hoping for cochlear implant sooner rather than later (already been 3 years in queue).

Unauthorized cancellation of service

I have been using Live Transcribe for a long time and suddenly without warning my subscription ended. This kind of arrogant behavior is not to be tolerated. I will never use it again.

Great App for Hearing Impaired

Changed my life. I have only used it for less than two months and it has been a complete game changer on how I interact with others when in a group setting. I cannot thank you enough. Truly!!! 🥹
