TextHear vs Voice Notebook

* Please note: app is free to download & test for 1 minute. After that - you will have to purchase transcription minutes at ±$0.3 a minute. We hope you will find it worthwhile for its return in reliability, accuracy, elegancy & simplicity - a single touch to transcribe non-stop. We understand it's a bit pricy in today's market, but it's cause we ourselves pay for the transcription by the minute to our service provider (we chose to use Google's paid Speech-to-Text service for its accuracy and reliability). --- As many amongst us suffer from reduced hearing, our mission is to help make everyday-life better for the hearing impaired, using cutting-edge technologies. TextHear's app does non-stop high-precision speech transcription, suitable as a stand-alone app for non-stop dictation and for use with the TextHear phone adapter and microphone to aid hearing-impaired. As such, TextHear transforms any land line phone to a caption-phone, without the need for a second line. Using it with a microphone, in face to face conversations, enables the hard of hearing to SEE what is being said. It is much easier than lips-reading and you won't miss a word. Simply place the microphone in front of them, click the mic - and let our app transcribe for you in real-time what they are saying.

The application allows continuous voice input and transcribing of audio files. The voice input can also be saved in the file for further processing. There are three modes for transcribing audio files in the App: traditional and two accelerated modes for devices running iOS 26. The App can read texts and generate audio files using TTS for selected voice and speaking rate. Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) cab be used in source text.

In Dictation mode language changing without stopping dictation are possible. Text entered by voice can be saved in a file or sent to another program. The note files are saved in the folder on the device and available for users. The list of voice notes can be sorted by date or alphabetically. Backup notes feature is implemented. When translating audio files into text, time stamps can be inserted and the resulting transcription can be translated into the Youtube subtitle format. A listening mode with highlighting the timestamps of the spoken sentences is provided for correction the resulting transcription. For most devices (not very old) transcribing audio files and speech to text can be done even in offline mode (without Internet). For devices running iOS 16 and higher, auto-punctuation mode is possible for languages in which it is supported. For devices running iOS 17 and higher, it is possible to use custom dictionaries that allow you to enter words and phrases by voice that are not recognized normally. You can create an unlimited number of custom dictionaries. For devices running iOS 16 and higher the app shortcut to add new note and start recognition is implemented. The shortcut can be called with Siri. The Apple Watch app is included, where you can take both audio and text notes by voice and sync them with the main app. The option to print and find notes has been implemented. Dark mode is supported. Premium mode will remove ads in the Speech screen, enable "No Sleeping" switch (auto-lock screen) and bluetooth support.
