Hearing Helper - Live Captions

This has been wonderful. My 95 year old grandma lives with me and she is considered “deaf with hearing aids”. She has not always been this way and lost her hearing as she got older. The doctor said the bones in her ears do not vibrate anymore and there is nothing they can do. She does have some dementia and macular degeneration so learning sign language was not an option. I searched through several speech to text apps and this one is by far the best for us. She is able to clearly read what we are saying and can adjust the size of the font and also text to correct any misspellings that happen to appear. She goes to a day center while I work and the doctor and staff there have downloaded the app so they can communicate with her more easily. Before she was using a small dry erase pad or a notepad and it gets tiresome for us writing everything down. Thanks so much for this free app! It has made a big difference in my grandmother’s quality of life.

I was searching for a simple app to talk to my mother who can hardly hear, this has come the closest to prefect. A couple of things would make this prefect: first a way to toggle the talk button so the app can be left running sitting on a table. Second, adding a line break when there is a few seconds of silence, this would break the text up into paragraphs to make it easier to read. Thank you 🙏.

I love this app! This app allows my family and I to easily communicate with my 85-yr-old dad, who is extremely hard-of-hearing, even with his hearing aids. Before I found this app, we had to write everything down, which takes forever! I’m very impressed with how accurate the speech-to-text is (including with complex medical-related terms and people with various accents)!! THANK YOU for creating this app!!! 😊

My 92 year old father has Dementia AND is severely hearing impaired. However, his capacity for reading has remained intact. We had been communicating by writing things down, which was laborious at best, and often abandoned by the impatient. We were frustrated and gloomy. Hearing Helper changed all that. We can communicate effortlessly, and, as long as we limit the number of words we use at a time, he generally understands what we are saying. We keep a tablet handy at all times! We have also introduced Hearing Helper to doctors, memory care specialists, caregivers, friends and anyone we know who has to work with the hearing impaired. Thank you for being a game changer for our family.

My mother is deaf and without this app she would not understand what’s going on. This has been a miracle for us. We can finally put away the pad and pen. Thank you
