Can you please get that app's name? It sounds like something that would immensley help me. I'm hard of hearing and something like this would be amazing to have handy when I can't wear my hearing aids in a specific situation.

I would really appreciate this.

I can ask her when I see her, but that might be a while. I'm pretty sure it's Live Transcribe on Android. https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/9158...

As the other commenter pointed out, iOS now has it. There are also apps in the app stores.

Apple has (currently US/Canada) live captions for conversations built in to iOS18
In my experience, it’s awful. When using my phone for real-world captions, I still rely on Otter.ai or even a Google Meet with myself as the only participant.
