How to cancel Live Translator subscription ⁉️

User reviews

2回目のレビューです。

いつも良質な更新をしていただき、ありがとうございます。

相変わらず文字起こしの速度・精度はすごく良く、満足しております。

ただ、一つ気になることがあります。

iPhone内臓の動画も再生したところ、文字起こしはできていたのですが、マイクをAirPods(私の場合は補聴器のBluetooth機能を使っています)で音声を聞けるように切り替えたところ、文字起こしがされなくなってしまいました。

このままだと外に音が漏れて内容がわかる状態で、文字起こしをされてしまうので、他人に知られたくない内容を聞く時に不便です。

私のほうが手順を間違っているでようしたら、手順を教えていただけますでしょうか。

もし、不具合であった場合であれば、Bluetooth対応のAirPodsや補聴器、外部マイクを通じて聞き取るのと同時に文字起こしができるようにご対応頂けると幸いです。

どうかよろしくお願いいたします。

Lot of potential, some usability issues

- app does not keep the device wake, even in active use (device will go sleep after a few minutes)
- sometime the translation does not break the lines so it display 1 very long line in 1 language, blocking the view of the other language
- sometime the translation stops ( probably because of sleep), and returning to the app does not get it started again. Have to fully exit and then reopen the translation to continue

The app picks up the sounds very well, so hopefully the developer will fix the above critical usability issues, if fixed, will earn 5 stars and yearly subscription.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. If a sentence gets too long during translation, you can decrease font size during a session. As for the issues, a fix will be released soon to keep device awake.

かなりの神アプリです。

2026.7.7現在のところ評価数9人と少ないですが、なぜこんなに評価が少ないのか理解できないくらい、声の聞き取りからの文字の表示スピードが半端なく速く、個人的には高評価です。

まだ会議やミーティングなどにはまだ使っておらず、テレビ相手ですが、聞き取りの精度もとても高く、字幕のないインタビュー等も話している内容がわかりやすく、聴覚障がい者の私にもかなり使いやすいです。

要望ですが、

・会議やミーティングなどに使うときに、声質などによって発言者を判別できる(文字に色がつく等)と良いです。

・YouTube動画やデバイス内にある動画を再生しながら文字起こし出来ると良いです。
(LiveSTTというアプリが別に出てますが、こちらは表示は少し遅めで、文字が抜ける時もあります。)

これから仕事で使う機会がありそうなので、有料プランに入ることを検討していますので、ぜひ上記の要望内容について、実装いただけると幸いです。

2026.7.17追記

風や電車音、水道の音など、聞き取らなくて良い音を聞き分けて判別して文字起こしできるようにしてほしいです。

特に、文字起こししながらテレビを見ている時に、近くで水道を流して洗い物をしていると「(トイレを流す音)」が延々と繰り返し文字起こしされてしまうので、この辺を改善してほしいです。
