Description

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.

    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.
  • Great app!

    This app has made things much easier for me. Going to Dr appts and other places that I really need to hear what’s being said does not worry me anymore. I get my phone out and set it down and it’s just easy to use because there’s not a lot of things to have to figure out for the other person The only thing I have to say must if the time is you have to hold the button pressed because they always just tap it That’s not even a complaint but it’s the k my thing I can think of that might possibly make it any better Thanks for a great and useful app!
  • Intermittent operation

    Does not work every time I read the speak button. Need to repress red button.
  • Great for someone that needs to talk to someone who is deaf.

    My only objection is I would like to start and stop with red button so I don’t have to hold it. (It could be an option if needed)
  • ok but…

    it’s a really nice app but it needs typing assistance more often than not. if it wasn’t for that, i would upgrade but not until thus one us better at handling voice to text
  • Did not work for me

    The app needs you continually hold down the transcribe button and is not very accurate.
  • A great blessing!

    This is my 2nd review! My mom is 92 and started to lose her hearing in 2011. Hearing aids no longer help. I used other apps, but they had ads that were interfering with communication. I began looking again and came across this app. It is simple, clean, and so easy to use! I have told so many people to download it so they can communicate with my mom who is now in an assisted living facility. Thank you so much for creating this app! It has been a great blessing!
  • Very misleading, do not buy or download

    I am deaf in one ear and almost completely deaf in my other ear I thought this would caption live text of my phone calls but it does not. I want my $2.99 back.

    I love the big letters and the app is spot on .The only thing I do not like about this app as is you have to hold the button the whole time bar someone’s talking. That’s really inconvenient.
  • Doesn’t work in my old iPhone 6 + (iOS v12.5.4)...

    ... It doesn’t even check for its Internet connection. When there is Internet, it doesn’t seem to hear all like from speakers.
