Pretty good

I’m sure there is an app that is for a cell phone. It’s easy to use. Sometimes the text is a little slow but that’s OK. It’s really appreciated as sometimes I can hear one of the people that I call because their speech is. pretty bad. I would very much recommend this.

Excellent.

This provides a live transcript of what is being said on both ends of the call. My hearing is not excellent and this makes it much easier to know what is actually being said.

Easy great app

I saw this app today and I often have to say “what” when talking on phone. I wished there was something like Rylo and there it was. Thank you
