OnTopic Memory + Hearing

ONTopic Memory & Hearing is an app designed to assist people with short-term memory issues or those experiencing hearing difficulties. While having a conversation with someone, it can be frustrating when hearing loss occasionally causes you to miss certain words or phrases. Short-term memory issues can also affect conversations to the point where the entire subject could disappear from the mind at any time leaving people in an awkward, uncomfortable position. This app uses your device’s microphone to analyze your conversation and displays a LIVE TRANSCRIPT to assist with recalling parts of your conversation when necessary. We have integrated an INSTANT PLAYBACK function which allows you to instantly hear the last ten, twenty, thirty or sixty seconds of your conversation. This is beneficial to those who prefer to wear an earbud as it enables discreet instant playbacks at the tap of a button.
