Background of Development

This app was born from my personal experience. My mother, who is elderly, began having difficulty with everyday conversations due to hearing loss. Wanting to communicate clearly without raising my voice led me to create this app.

Hearing impairment or age-related hearing loss can make communication challenging, but with this app, you can overcome those barriers and achieve smoother interactions. Please make full use of this app to enjoy more stress-free and enjoyable conversations with hearing-impaired individuals.

Ratings and reviews

As others have said, name is off-putting. Appears to be very similar to other speech recognition apps like Talk to the Deal and Deak Communication. None of these work for me. The microphone button has to be pushed every time. App switches to Google. Google's Live Transcribe works better. But I want an app that doesn't need to be tied to WiFi. I'll keep looking.

Potentially very good but lacking for a few reasons. Firstly I can't stand the ?dialogue, advert at the bottom. Where is the paid version? There should be a button to flip the text so you can talk to somebody sitting opposite to you. Thirdly there should be an option to save some of the messages because often you are speaking to old people and you need to repeat the same question. I like the simplicity of the big record button, also there is no way to correct mistakes.

I've used this app for years to communicate with a dear friend who is deaf. Up until this last update, I've absolutely loved the app, but now it's far, far worse than before. The new ads are so intrusive, blocking nearly half the display area, I'm actively looking for a replacement app. Very disappointing, as this has been easily my favorite application up until now.

What’s new

We have significantly redesigned the app interface. The collapsible banner will now appear once at startup. Due to these major changes, if you encounter any errors or issues, we would appreciate it if you could report them via the app's support section.
