Read the Voice: Speech to Text

Good conversations bring us closer. Read the Voice turns spoken words into large, easy-to-read text so older adults and people who are hard of hearing can take part in everyday moments. HOLD. SPEAK. READ. Hold the microphone button while you talk. Release it and your words appear on screen. Adjust the text size to make reading comfortable. ONE CONVERSATION, ONE SHARED SCREEN With Tandem, family members can speak into their own iPhones while the conversation appears on one iPad. Guests do not need an account or their own minutes: transcription uses the receiving screen’s balance. Find a nearby device by name and ask to connect. The receiving device approves each new device once. Trusted devices can reconnect without another approval. Keep both apps open with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled. TIME YOU CAN SEE Start with 20 free minutes per eligible Apple-linked account. Your remaining time is always visible. Buy more minutes when you need them, with no subscription. Recording time includes silence; waiting for a transcription and sharing it with a paired screen do not use extra minutes. See your usage in the app. YOUR LANGUAGE The app follows your system language or your choice. Transcription language is detected automatically or selected separately. MADE FOR EVERYDAY TOGETHERNESS Read the Voice began with a simple wish: to bring a 90-year-old grandfather back into family conversations when even powerful hearing aids were not enough. Transcription requires an internet connection on the receiving device. Recordings are processed through our server by OpenAI with your permission. Speech recognition can make mistakes. Read the Voice is a conversation aid, not a hearing aid or emergency communication service.
