Rylo: Live Call Captions

Rylo HQ

About this app

Phone calls made accessible.

Rylo provides real-time, AI-powered call captions on every phone call for anyone who is deaf or has hearing loss. Captioned calls are private, accurate, and free.

MAKE AND RECEIVE ANY CALL
Rylo works like your native phone app, but with speech-to-text call captions. If you prefer to type your responses, you can choose a voice and use our text-to-speech feature. Read full transcripts of your voicemails so you never miss important messages. No interpreters. No relay services. No strangers listening in.

LIVE CAPTIONS FOR REAL LIFE
Our built-in feature, Rylo Live Transcribe, captions in-person conversations instantly: family dinners, doctor's appointments, airports, or anywhere else you don't want to miss a word.

YOUR PRIVACY IS PROTECTED
Captioning is generated with end-to-end encryption. No human involvement. No one reading your calls but you.

BUILT FOR THE DEAF COMMUNITY, BY THE DEAF COMMUNITY
Rylo was built with direct input from the Deaf and hard of hearing communities. Every feature exists because someone in the community needed it. Accessibility matters.

"Rylo is the true definition of a game-changer. Their goal is to ensure effective and smooth communication." — Verified user
"I was able to make a phone call myself. I set up my own appointment. I could clearly read every word the recipient was saying to me. I explained to her I was deaf and I was using closed captioning. It was amazing. Thank you Rylo for allowing me to be more independent." — Verified user

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund.
There are also eligibility requirements and a cost, paid by a federally administered fund for each minute of IP Relay service.
Emergency calling through Rylo works similar to, but not the same as, calling 911 directly through a landline. It is important to keep your Rylo Registered Location updated.

Ratings and reviews

I have a hearing problem and my hearing aids don't help much. The volume is loud enough but I can't make out most of the words people are saying. I got desktop caption phone for home use but had to give up my cell phone and use it only for texts and games. Tried some other caption app but it didn't work very good and was hard to use. Read some reviews about Navish, now Rylo and installed it. I'm so glad I did. It works great and easy to use. I can use my call of calls again.

I love how easy it is to use this app! Once the person I'm calling picks up it easily and correctly prints what they've been saying on my phone screen, and then if I choose, it can also print what I'm saying back to them. So I have a complete conversation. It makes it so much easier than trying to guess or miss a lot of a conversation. And i'm so glad that it is a free accommodation for those of us who are hearing impaired.

As someone who has recently lost their hearing, I was completely lost and isolated. finding this app has changed my ability to communicate better than with other apps. hearing people adjusted fairly well, and now I'm able to interface with the world just a little better. the only thing I can't do is leave a message. it doesn't register the beep tone. I'm thrilled with Nagish. thank you so much!
