Too much info needed

No closed caption app needs my address and ssn

Confidence building

I often get important calls which I have great deal of difficulty understanding due to foreign accents, background noise, poor diction, and or a very fast speaker. Rylo has vastly improved my understanding on difficult calls and boosted my voice call confidence. It is not perfect but it makes a huge difference for me.

Great service

I found this app from an online ad. It has become a great resource for me when making and receiving calls. I am legally deaf and verbal communication is unreliable. I would suggest this app to anyone who is having trouble communicating verbally. It only takes a few minutes to setup and it eliminates the problem of waiting for someone to become available to translate via SL. It connects instantly and is available 24/7.

Sign up over and over..

Problem with Rylo. I hate having to sign up and get code every time. I am tired of trying to sign in and it keeps on asking for my phone number then verify.. Hearing person wait for me to get ready. It’s embarrassing. I just want to do that part once after it’s logged in and be done with it as long as I have the same phone or log out manually then fine ask all of those stuff all over again but every time literally. Driving me nuts. Also why can’t live transcription button to be on the main bar on the bottom??

Happy I discovered Nagish

I always have a difficult time hearing my callers, especially with foreign accents, but Nagish has solved that for me. When important information is received during the call, I have it in writing and do not have to write it down while talking. When the call has ended, I can look over the conversation. Thank you Nagish
