Voice to Text for HoH & Deaf
Description (
Characters: 1564 of 4000
)
Hearing Helper is specifically designed for anyone trying to talk with HoH (Hard of Hearing), Deaf, or ESL (English as a Second Language) friends and family. Simply push and hold the mic to translate speech-to-text with Apple's Siri technology. Tap to quick-edit incorrect words. And make anything you say BIG! Hearing Helper sits in the background of your conversations, so you can focus on what's being said. Users love it: “Just so you know, this app has changed my 86 year old mother's life. It is simple and easy for her and her friends to use. This is so important for the elderly since so many other apps are way too complicated. She can really have one on one conversations, especially with me, which is so very important.” - Mark M Doctors trust it: "I use this w my HOH senior patients when the hearing aides aren't even enough to compensate for the hearing loss. This works great. I have recommended it to my nursing/CNA staff to use as well.” - Istariken Hearing Helper is also really helpful for communicating with family and friends who aren't as comfortable speaking English but can read it well. Features - Push and hold the mic for speech to text in real time - Tap on the text to quick edit incorrect words - Change the font size up to 100pts (That's big!) - Simple, easy-to-follow instructions I designed this app to help my family talk with my 100-year-old grandfather who's hard of hearing, and now even his roommate uses it to communicate with him! If you find this app, I hope it helps you better communicate with your loved ones.}

We tried the app to help my parent with hearing difficulties. It ability to understand even when people are speaking slowly and clearly is almost nonexistent. A total waste of money

I purchased this for my HoH dad, with hope it could pick up conversations. This app doesn’t work well at all, and is more of a hindrance than a help. I wish they had a free trial so you could see how it works, because I definitely wouldn’t have purchased it. Will be looking for something else… (Google translate works better and is free!)

Purchased this app after reading all the positive reviews. Unfortunately for me, this app has been useless! It won't pick won't pick up any speech unless you hold the phone close to your mouth, even the TV which is only a metre away or if your at a show where the speaker is on an elevated stage. It picks up nothing! The screen says I'm listening... but that's all it does! Very disappointing.

My husband refuses to get hearing aids. Our communication with each other was frustrating. Writing down everything I wanted to communicate to him was aggravating not to mention time consuming. Hearing Helper has made a big difference. I can easily talk into my speaker and it prints out my words on my phone which I then hand to my husband. Because I have the font larger, he easily can read it. It’s been a lifesaver. Wish I had found this app sooner.

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. Just wish I could make the font even bigger on my iPad

Have bought this twice now. And realised why I never used the first time. Having to press and hold button to record text is in convenient and ridiculous. Why make your customers jump through this hoop? Many people have complained about this as a major factor in what could be a brilliant solution making it almost pointless. If you in your developers mind beleive there is a good reason for this, at least listen to your customers and give them the option to have an “always listening on” option. It is such a simple thing, so obvious and yet you insist on forcing people to what you think is best for them despite a clear desire for something more usable. Refund please, unless you make the very simple change i settings.

At least I only wasted £2.99 on this. It only picks up really loud speech which is pointless as it’s the quiet stuff I can’t hear. I downloaded Otter which picked up pretty much everything.

You have to hold down a button while transcribing. Make it useless. Where do I get my refund?

This app was perfect for my needs! It really helped me communicate with the hard of hearing. I loved that it was straight forward and no big learning curve to use it.
