There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund.

The transcription takes too long to connect after answering, sometimes up to 10 seconds, so callers hang up. I have missed important calls because of this. I would also like the option to answer some calls through my regular phone, especially for family video calls. I really like that it transcribes both sides of the conversation and appreciate the dyslexia setting. Overall, it is one of the better apps but could improve with a few tweaks.

Great app for us HoH people. Easy to setup and use. Captioning is high quality. Doesn't drop calls like similar apps do. I really appreciate this app. It's made communication so much easier. One request: I get callers that go to voicemail, but hang up after a few seconds. Spammers or wrong numbers. I'd like to be able to set a minimum length of message to save, so if they hang up after a few seconds, I don't get a notification. Thanks so much for the app!

I used the self diagnostic tools and that cleared up most problems. I still have a disconnect on some calls when calling out or receiving, but not bad as before. I can use my speaker phone but some calls are very low in volume and some calls are very loud. If I use my hearing aid Bluetooth and listing to call through my hearing aids then the volume is very ,very low barley audible. the volume has to do with Bluetooth maybe urs app related but only does it with this app. I use resound aids.
