## Description

**eyeHear** helps make conversations more accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. Press and hold to caption speech in large, easy-to-read text, or use the keyboard when speech recognition is unavailable. It’s designed for everyday situations where a sign language interpreter isn’t available.

Each captioning session is saved to on-device History, where you can review, copy, or share conversations when you choose. eyeHear is free with no in-app purchases, and your audio, captions, and usage records stay on your device. Speech recognition is provided through Siri when supported. eyeHear is an accessibility aid and not a replacement for a qualified interpreter or CART provider.

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.
