Re: Speech to. Text for iPhones
I am testing olelo for iPhone captions.
Advantage: I like that it captions both sides of the conversation whereas InnoCaption only captions one side of the conversation (incoming). Disadvantages: I am finding some downsides of olelo -- as it is fairly new. 1) It does not alert you when you have voicemail (they are working on that...) so you have to check your voicemail on a regular basis. 2) Also I have to do a "workaround" to share the conversation as they don't have that icon to share it. Olelo does provide a transcript showing both sides of the conversation. My workaround is to video record the transcript as I scroll down it--I use "Screenshot" on the Mac to do this. But for the moment I am going to stick with olelo as its main advantage is so important to me....especially on important calls like financial, etc. Here is the website for it: https://www.machinegenius.com/ -- Carolyn J.

Re: Speech to. Text for iPhones
For mobile phone calls I recommend InnoCaption.

For person-to-person speech, seeHear seems to be the most accurate and doesn’t require an internet connection. But the type size is too big, and I haven’t found a way to make it smaller. Carol

The Zoom captioning instructions referred to were not attached - could you send them out?

Re: Connecting to captioning : What has worked for you?
When Zoom finally provided free captioning the quality was the best I had seen so far. Rev was originally useless, but it had improved. GoogleMeet wasn’t much better than Rev. But it has been a year of improvement for ASR.

The Zoom instructions were so bad that when I told people the free captions were now available, most of them were unable to install them. But someone then posted the attached instructions and all my groups started turning on captions. At first I had to keep reminding them, but before long it became habit. I haven’t yet attended a hybrid meeting, but my various groups are working on it. Before Zoom had captions I subscribed to Otter and propped it up under my computer. It was helpful only rarely. The best thing about Zoom is that the captions can be moved so I can place them right under each speaker’s mouth. During this time I have also been trying to use captions on my iPhone, so I can use it when speakers are masked. Most of them would not work without wifi, and few places I went had wifi. Just a few days ago I downloaded eyeHear, which is the most accurate and works without wifi. But I can’t figure out if it’s possible to reduce the size of the type. It is so huge that only a few words are visible at a time. As for the Boston chapter, we used Zoom with captions. A member worked in a school and used their account. When they dropped the account, we bought a year’s subscription. I would like to learn the results of your research. Carol Agate Boston chapter, formerly Los Angeles

Connecting to captioning : What has worked for you?
We are exploring options for connecting to captioning. We are exploring in-person and hybrid (in-person and Zoom) meeting rooms. What has worked successfully for you. What equipment did you use to send the voice to the remote captioner or to the ASR? Do you use a captioning app on your phone and connect it to a projector? What did you view the captions on? Did you connect to a projector and then view the captions on a television screen or regular screen?
We are looking for details of how to set this up. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you. Sara Oser HLAANB HLAA.NBofCa@...

Re: Chrome Live Captions
#Captioning
The issue you are having with Zoom captioning using the Chrome browser is that you are opening the Zoom program using Chrome, but Zoom does not run within the Chrome browser but its own platform. That would be independent of any operating system.

Re: Chrome Live Captions

Yes you are correct...if you check the upper left corner of the screen it probably needs to say "Chrome".
(When you have the zoom up it does not say Chrome, it says Zoom.) Here is Chrome: Here is Zoom: -- Carolyn J. Odio
