Transcriber turns every conversation into large, easy-to-read text in real time. Built as a hearing aid companion for deaf and hard-of-hearing people — and loved by professionals, students, and travelers.
Big, bold, readable text — designed to be glanced at across a table or held up mid-conversation.
No setup, no pairing, no training. Transcriber works from the second you open it.
Launch the app and tap once. That's the entire setup. Transcription starts immediately, right on your device — no account and no internet connection needed.
Words appear instantly in large, high-contrast letters as they're spoken. Adjust the font size until it's comfortable — across the table or across the room.
Flip mode rotates the text 180° so the person facing you can read it too. Copy the transcript or share it anywhere — your conversation, your way.
One app, three superpowers — hearing assistance, hands-free dictation, and multilingual transcription.
Follow conversations, appointments, and family dinners without asking anyone to repeat themselves. Large, high-visibility text makes every word readable at a glance. Flip mode turns your iPhone into a two-way conversation screen for face-to-face communication.
Dictate patient notes, reports, and memos completely hands-free with Notes mode. Everything is processed on-device, so sensitive information never leaves your phone. Copy the finished text straight into your records system in one tap.
Transcribe speech in more than 50 languages, from Spanish and Japanese to Arabic and Ukrainian. See exactly what's being said around you, word by word. It's the fastest way to follow fast native speakers or check your own pronunciation.
