Features & Capabilities

eyeHear lets anyone with an iPhone caption conversations in real time by pressing and holding the screen to display large, easy-to-read text. If speech isn’t available, you can type and still have captions shown.

Designed to empower Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities, eyeHear enables communication where signed language isn’t an option. It’s free with no in-app purchases, uses Siri for speech recognition, and does not record your audio, transcriptions, or usage data to protect your privacy.

User Reviews

EyeHear is widely praised as a life-changing, easy-to-use, free captioning tool that helps hard-of-hearing users and improves communication in medical, home, and noisy environments. The top drawbacks are the need to constantly press the screen for captions, lack of text-size controls, and occasional startup/reliability hiccups. Overall, users value its accessibility and impact, while requesting workflow improvements for continuous captions and adjustable typography.
Pros
  • Life-changing tool for hard-of-hearing individuals; dramatically improves communication at home, in hospitals, and with families.
  • Easy to use, free and accessible.
  • High transcription accuracy and readability, effective with masks and in noisy environments.
  • Valuable in medical/elder-care settings for patients, families, and clinicians.
Cons
  • Must press and hold the screen to capture captions; there is no continuous captioning mode or toggle.
  • Text size controls are missing or inconsistent, making some captions hard to read.
  • Occasional reliability issues: starting delays, first-word omissions, or captions hanging after a few words.

This app used to work very well for me to communicate with my elderly Dad - but once it updated, it’s basically useless. Cuts off the last word of every sentence and simply doesn’t work 90% of the time. Please fix it

Installed. Opened. Tested. Nothing appears on screen. Tested again. Same result. Checked app website. No phone support. Getting Started guide links to different website which requires registration. Registration is a form of signing up. Instructions and all requirements ought to be clearly, succinctly on main website page.
