Features & Capabilities

This application simply displays the words that it hears on the screen in large letters.

It was written as an aid to communication with deaf people. I have shared it here just in case other people find it useful.

The size of the font can be configured.

It continually listens and displays text when a sentence has finished. As with all apps that use the Google speech recognition service, it is better to speak slowly and clearly.

V1.0 - First release
V1.1 - Added reverse scroll feature, improved scrolling
V1.2 - Fixed intermittent crash, added clear text feature

Recent reviews

It's a good idea, and it works some of the time with people in the room, which isn't what I needed, since I read lips very well. I tried to use it to understand media without captions and phone calls, and it only told me what I said, not what was coming over the phone. NOT very helpful.
