Talk with family, friends, colleagues, and strangers with no set-up or hassle. Use voice recognition to connect with the world around you and join in the conversation!
Need help understanding the doctor? A clerk at the store? Open Live Caption and they can speak into your phone. Live Caption transcribes what they say in real time.
Know someone with hearing loss? Using voice recognition software, your spoken words appear live on your device. Talk to anyone face-to-face with Live Caption.
How It Works:
• The app is NOT for use with incoming phone calls, but for face-to-face, live conversations.
• The app does not store or save captured text unless you intentionally share that text with another app.
• To begin, just open the app and it will start listening. Tap the blue button to stop. The red button to start.
• Go to settings to increase or decrease the size of text, and change from white text on black background, to black text on a white background.
• Live Caption works with connected Bluetooth devices like headsets and standalone microphones for greater distance from the device.
• To respond with typed text, tap "Clear All" and all previous messages on the screen will disappear. Type with keyboard and the typed text will appear at the same size.
• You may edit any text as you would in any other text editing software. Tap anywhere on the screen and the keyboard will appear to edit your text.
• Tap and hold to select text to copy, paste.
Tips:
• Pair with Bluetooth devices to caption at greater distances. Good for use in a classroom, in church or at the office where the user controls the app. Especially new Live Caption Unlimited!
• Stream the app to a Television by connecting an Apple TV for a larger display
• Captioning may not be as accurate with strong accents or children's voices.
• Live Caption does not record or store voice or text results. Once the "Clear All" button is tapped results cannot be retrieved. Share text with another app to save the captured text.
• Live Caption will return results in any language the phone is set to. For example, if the phone is set to Spanish, the app will caption Spanish results.
How to enable Speak Selection on iPhone and iPad:
• Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
• Now tap on General.
• Scroll down and towards the bottom, tap on Accessibility.
• Tap on the Speak Selection option and turn it to On.

Request to have a Clear Button and start a new line after a sentence.
Jan 4, 2020 I have bad hearing loss . I just got this app and subscribed today. This app seems to capture words more accurately and faster than other apps that I have used. My request to improve this app: 1. Please have a CLEAR TEXT button on the top row so that it’s easy to clear the text from the screen. 2. Please add a period or a slash after a person finishes his sentence. If adding a period or slash is hard to program, please have new sentence start on a new line. Or have color changed for each sentence after a sentence paused. (We don’t normally Stare at the screen and follow the text caption all the times. This way when we take a quick glance at the transcript, we can easily understand that a person has stopped and started a new sentence). Hope it can be fixed soon. Please reply and let me know when this can be fixed. This will help me with my hearing loss tremendously. Best regards, more -
The function of the app was fine
Feb 13, 2020 It’s $2.99 a month. It gave the message to subscribe, after 60 seconds of use. The app works, I’ll give it that. The text is big and clear. But I didn’t use it long enough to see that it was better than the regular Speech to Text. The mic icon on the onscreen keyboard for any standard text input field. more -
Freezing
Dec 14, 2020 But the app. Paid the $2.99.You can use it for about an hour and a half on either my husband’s iPhone seven or on my brand new iPad, and it works wonderfully then freezes up I have to turn off the appliance in reboot in order to get a green microphone on the app it’s very frustrating more -
Super Helpful
Jun 10, 2019 Immediately impressed w the word accuracy, easy of use, and large type. Tried this w a co-worker who struggles to hear and it was an instantly a relief. Would like to correct common words but don’t see the ability to toggle options. more -
Excellent app
May 30, 2017 I will rate this 5 stars when one of issues is fixed. Durning the meeting this app are prefect good enough for me, however problem still there when person is spoken and this app "Live Captions" kept pausing every one minutes. I have to manually pressing the microphone to keep up the conversation. Here and there where pressing microphone do not respond or freezing up missing every seconds of conversation. This is very very important to know. Any fix for this are greatly appreciated! Thank You! more -
Microphone
Jan 21, 2018 I love it but it don’t have microphone for iPad. I looked for it but couldn’t find. Anyway i put five stars, smile -
This is great!
May 19, 2015 I wanted to try this app out on a couple of my friends who do not use sign language. I'm a court sign language interpreter, and I'm also a real-time captioner. What I like best about this app is that you can keep the font big. You don't have to do anything with your iPhone's settings to make the font big. And, the app remembers the size that's most appropriate for the person reading the captioning. This was a very reasonably-priced app, and I believe that it can change a lot of lives. To the developers: good job. more -
Changed my life
Jun 23, 2015 I am deaf and I use this app in my daily life to communicate with people who don't know sign language. Now I can just read what they say and write back. I don't know how I got along with out this app. Thank you! -
Only captions my voice!
Jun 2, 2020 I bought this app with hopes of it working. It does caption MY voice but no one else’s. I have tried multiple people and proximities. Please help! I’d love to have this work for me due to severe heating loss. -
Does not work as advertised
Aug 31, 2017 This app adds no functionality. It simply rebrands the default behavior of the iOS dictation feature built into the system keyboard and charges you $5.

Awful!
Oct 13, 2019 It really does NOT work! Just awful - it misheard many words and keeps changing what’s being said so I couldn’t use it! -
Won’t open
Oct 10, 2019 Can’t even get the app to open the try it. -
No better than your default keyboard
Jun 11, 2016 Does not do transcription in real time. Does not work in real time. -
Disappointing
Nov 26, 2015 Not real time and not worth the money. Try color note more accurate and free. -
Mom of a Deaf kid
Jan 30, 2015 DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP! It just uses the microphone that is already in the iPhone keyboard. You can do the same thing with your "notes" app. Just start a new note and touch the microphone on the key pad. It will pick up what people say, just like this app. more -
What?
Nov 27, 2015 No good for deaf people to follow a conversation. Use the free notes app. -
Awful
Dec 10, 2019 I am sorry, I never submit reviews, but because I have been charged 3.23$ on regular basis despite the fact that I do not use and I tried it one day and discontinued. I don’t know what else to do. I have contacted my credit card and Apple re this last month and it was refunded. Yet again, on 12/8/2019 I was charged again $3.23. I would appreciate if your app would discontinue charging for not providing any services. Thank you. more

What’s Groovy
I had trouble using this. I purchased it for use at dr appointments but it is very inaccurate even when spoken directly to the microphone. I was happy that it converted the text in real time. I wish there was a subscription service to get access to an actual person to type out conversation.

What’s Subpar
Not very accurate and throws in occasional curse words. Wish there was a better app then this available. I recently loss my hearing and was excited to purchase it but now I wouldn’t recommend it.
