Eyes Are Ears makes in-person conversations easier to follow and easier to remember. See live captions with color-coded speaker names, then save, search, share, and summarize the conversation, privately on your iPhone or iPad. FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION Live captions appear as people speak, with clear labels showing who said what. Each speaker gets a distinct color, and the current speaker is highlighted so it is easier to follow a conversation as it happens. Tap a speaker name to replace “Speaker 1” with a real name. Frequently used names are saved so they are easy to select again in future conversations. If the app gets something wrong, you can rename a speaker, merge two speaker labels, or change who said an individual line. Eyes Are Ears can distinguish up to four speakers in a conversation. MADE TO BE EASY TO READ Adjust the caption size or pinch to zoom the transcript. Scroll back when you need to reread something without losing the live conversation, then tap Jump to Live when you are ready to catch up. Eyes Are Ears also supports your device’s text size settings and dark mode. TURN CONVERSATIONS INTO USEFUL NOTES When you tap End, the conversation is saved to History. Search past conversations by word, speaker name, or title and review exactly what was said. On supported iPhone and iPad models with Apple Intelligence, Eyes Are Ears can also create an on-device summary, suggested title, and action items after the conversation ends. Share a transcript as text, a text file, Markdown, or a formatted document that preserves speaker colors. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Speech recognition and speaker detection run on your device. Audio is never recorded or saved, and your transcripts remain on your device unless you choose to share them. There is no account, no advertising, no tracking, and no analytics. An internet connection is needed initially to download the speech and speaker-detection models. After that, conversation processing happens locally on your device. DESIGNED FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS Eyes Are Ears can continue captioning when the screen locks. It pauses for phone calls and resumes afterward. It can also listen through the iPhone or iPad microphone while AirPods or hearing aids are connected. Whether you want help following a conversation, need a searchable record of a meeting, or simply want to remember who said what, Eyes Are Ears keeps the conversation readable, organized, and private. Automated captions and summaries may contain errors. Eyes Are Ears is not a medical device and is not a substitute for a professional interpreter or captioner. On-device summaries require a device that supports Apple Intelligence.
