Live CC vs Heart Tracker 70 BPM

Hard of hearing? Live CC can help. How? Live CC turns speech into text in real time, so you can read what people are saying as they say it. It's made for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and need help following conversations in everyday situations. Let me tell you a story... one day my Aunt Joy—an awesome lady—wrote this on Facebook: "Question: why can't anyone come up with an app for your phone for the hearing impaired? Say you're shopping and the sales associate asks you a question, you point your phone at them and it automatically shows up on your screen like a text, or, when you're in a social situation, point your phone to the person talking and bam! conversation! Just a thought." I thought, "Hey, I'm a programmer. I can do that!" So I made Live CC. HOW DO YOU USE LIVE CC? Imagine you need to understand what someone is saying, but it's hard to hear. Like ordering from a barista. Or talking with a friend. Or sitting in a meeting or at the doctor's office. • Tap the microphone button, or say "Hey Siri, start captioning with Live CC." You can also start it from Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button. • Point your iPhone's microphone (or an external mic) toward the person speaking. • Their words appear on your screen as they talk. • When you're done, tap the button again, or say "Hey Siri, stop captioning with Live CC." NEW: CAPTIONS THAT KEEP GOING Your screen stays on while you're captioning, so it won't lock in the middle of a conversation. And if your phone does lock, captioning keeps going. The latest caption shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a Stop button right there. HOW WELL DOES IT WORK? Live CC isn't perfect, but it usually works well enough that you can understand what people are saying. Here's what Aunt Joy said: "And, it works!!!!, the Patient Care Coordinator at U.W.M.C., was very impressed!!!. Love you, Todd, for coming up with this & helping your poor Aunt out" And... "It helps a lot, tried it with my barista this morning & she loved it. Even with the app replacing words, we can still get the gist of the conversation." You may notice the newest words change as someone is still talking. That's normal. Live CC refines its best guess with every new word, then locks the text in once a phrase is finished. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All speech recognition happens right on your iPhone. Your conversations are never sent to the cloud, and once your language is downloaded, Live CC works without an internet connection. There's no time limit, so you can caption a whole conversation. MORE FEATURES • Many languages. Pick yours in Settings. New languages download the first time you use them. • Flip the text so the person across the table can read it too. • Full-screen mode and adjustable text size for easy reading. • Transcripts save automatically to History, with a title and summary created on your device (on supported devices). Search, reread, or share them anytime. • Works with VoiceOver, including braille displays, and supports large text sizes. • Available in English, Spanish, French, and German. TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS • Point the microphone toward the person speaking. • Closer is better. A quieter spot helps too. • For the best accuracy, consider an external microphone. The better the microphone, the better the result. I hope Live CC can help you like it helped my Aunt Joy.

70 BPM shows how your heart rate moves through a real day—not just a number in isolation. It pulls heart-rate samples from Apple Health (usually from Apple Watch) and lines them up with the meetings, focus blocks, and events already on your calendar. Scrub the day. Zoom into an event. See low, normal, and high zones in context. WHY 70 BPM • Calendar-aware heart rate — BPM matched to what was actually on your schedule • Day chart built for scanning — zones, dense or sparse detail, bars or line • Event focus — open a meeting or block and see the samples that fell inside it • Focused Tracking — denser sampling during important timed events (iPhone workout session; data still via Health) • On-device by design — processing stays on your iPhone; 70 BPM doesn’t upload your heart rate to a cloud • Home Screen widget — your current app icon • Lock Screen widget — today’s average heart rate BUILT FOR REAL DAYS Work, deep work, travel, rest. Your calendar already knows the structure. 70 BPM shows what your body did inside that structure—using real Health samples only. Nothing invented. PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS • Apple Health — heart rate (read) and Focused Tracking workouts (write when you use that feature) • Calendar — full access so events can align with samples • You choose which calendars count (holidays and subscribed calendars start off by default) NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE 70 BPM is for personal insight and curiosity. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent disease. Zones are simple visual ranges for readability—not clinical guidance. If you have a health concern, talk to a qualified professional. REQUIREMENTS iPhone. Apple Watch (or another heart-rate source writing to Apple Health) recommended for meaningful charts. iOS 18+. Open 70 BPM. Connect Health and Calendar. See your day in beats per minute.
