User Reviews
Pros
- Helps Deaf and hard-of-hearing users communicate in daily life and at appointments.
- Large, easy-to-read text and the app remembers the font size across sessions.
- Some users report good accuracy and faster captioning than other apps.
- Easy to use with a quick start (tap the microphone).
- Contains features that support real-world conversations and accessibility.
Cons
- Frequent stability issues: the app crashes, freezes, or pauses transcription during use.
- Inaccurate transcription and non-real-time performance; mishears words and can miss conversation.
- Pricing and billing concerns: subscription fees and unexpected charges despite limited use.
- Perceived lack of extra functionality beyond basic iOS dictation; some feel it’s not worth the cost.
- Limited device support (noted issues on iPad/missing microphone features).
Recent reviews
I don’t see any recent reviews for this app, and maybe there’s a reason for that. This app was recommended on a deaf/hard of hearing website as a good captioning app for your phone. Seemed simple, open the app, tap the microphone, and go. It worked for a bit, the free version only transcribes 60 seconds at a time. So I bought a subscription for unlimited captions, thinking I could use it a lot to help me understand people around me. But then it just stopped working altogether. When I tap the microphone, it blinks but doesn’t transcribe anything. I checked for updates, none needed. I will be unsubscribing, it’s not worth it, even if it was free.

This is really bad.

I thought I would try it out. I use another app that allows me lots of time for free. It understands song lyrics and different people. I'm not thrilled at having to pay for this app....we will see.
