Ratings and Reviews
Excellent app for the hearing impaired, but..
Excellent and essential speech recognition app for the deaf and hearing impaired. I use it many times a day for personal and work related in-person interactions in order to understand what’s being said.
As a person who also suffers from visual impairments, it would be extremely helpful if the text size could be changed by the user allowing for larger text options. The greyed out text (while it is showing words or sentences being processed) is also unnecessarily hard to see. Don’t fade that processing text. I have contacted the Microsoft Accessibility Team regarding these issues numerous times since the release of the app. I would think that these fixes would be easy to implement by the developers, and would benefit many.
Finally, eliminate the foul language censor or make it optional. This is discriminatory for those with hearing impairments.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
The best captioning tool
I have been using many different captioning tools to compensate my severe hearing loss. I always come back to this one from Microsoft. The ability to pick speech from noisy places or even from say 10 meters away is unbeatable.
It’s clearly on a higher level compared to competitive captioning apps.
An example is using it in the car. As driver to see this captioning working and picking up the speech from others behind me regardless of environmental noise is amazing.
I would love to see one day Microsoft releasing captioning glasses. It would be a big winner. Glasses that are only for captioning, no cameras etc. The technology is all there. Now a matter of putting it together.
Incredible app for hearing impaired users
Great new app with amazing potential both for business applications and as a tool for hearing-impaired users. Curiously space-hungry though - after transcribing a few conversations the app's size grew enormously, and I couldn't find any way to trim it back down short of uninstalling and reinstalling it. So it might need some bug-fixes for what data it stores on-device. But otherwise a delightful new tool!
