Meaningful conversations, in real time — built for people who are deaf and speak well. Conversa Live turns speech into large, color-coded chat bubbles the moment words are spoken. Enroll the people in your life and Conversa Live labels their bubbles by name — with higher recognition accuracy. Be a part of the conversation as each person's words appear in their own color. No account. No ads. No audio ever leaves your device. Everything runs completely on-device. RECOGNIZES THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE Enroll family members, doctors, or colleagues with a short voice sample. Conversa Live remembers them across sessions and labels each bubble with their name — entirely on your device. COMPLETELY PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on-device. Speech transcription and speaker recognition never leave your device. No audio uploaded. No data ever leaves your device. The only network activity is a one-time model download on first launch. BUILT FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS Enroll named speakers with a name, color, and optional photo. Pin important lines so they stay visible while the feed scrolls. Receive haptic feedback when you pause or resume the app. A volume meter and mic indicator show you how loud the conversation is. And simple controls make it easy to operate. READABLE YOUR WAY Adjustable text size from small to very large. Rounded, serif, or monospaced font. Multiple bubble shapes available in light, dark, or system theme. OPTIONAL iCLOUD SYNC Enrolled people — names, voice profiles, and optional photos sync privately across your own devices via iCloud. Off by default. You control if and when it's enabled.
