For our Ghost Hunter friends this tool will allow you to use your Apple device to listen for EVPs. The curated library of around 2300 words will help you to see what you can't hear. The estimated accuracy of the data is listed with the translation along with the EMF reading at the time of the capture. We also show you a live reading of the electromagnetic field around the phone, measured in mili Gauss. Tap the pause button to pause detection, this will help you to avoid catching your own conversations, resume detection by tapping play. Don't forget to scroll, your entire session may continue beyond the screen, so scroll down to see the latest results. The microphone in Apple's devices is very good and you may find that excess environmental noise has an effect on the accuracy of the text returned. What you see on the screen is the best guess for what was said. You can also change languages in the device settings under GhostTalk. GhostTalk currently supports English, French, Chinese, German and Spanish. Join our group chat to discuss ghostly things with other users. There are no ghosts in the chat. If things get a little spooky we recommend turning on some lights and taking a break from the app for a while. :)
