Re: Speech to. Text for iPhones Ann Thomas, HLAA Brand Ambassador #319 Probably the most popular telephone captioning app for smartphone calls is InnoCaption. https://innocaption.com InnoCaption requires an additional telephone number. You can use your regular cellphone number by having your calls forward to your InnoCaption telephone number. To use the service you don't have to type anything. InnoCaption now has a computer option. Captioning apps for conversations There are a variety of captioning app options to use for conversations. Of the available options, Ava is the only one that you can maintain social distancing. It is available for smartphones, computers, online and offline. https://www.ava.me We all have our own preferences. You need to experiment with them to determine which one you like the best.

Re: Speech to. Text for iPhones Jaynie Kind, CA Peninsula Chapter #314 That’s why in CaptionMate you turn on the “Outgoing Caller ID”. It will use your cell number, not the CaptionMate’s number assigned to you.

Re: Speech to. Text for iPhones Jaynie Kind, CA Peninsula Chapter #311 Yes, it’s called “Outgoing Caller ID. You can also have calls forwarded to CaptionMate from your cell number so folks can call your cell as usual. I like CaptionMate for its bubbles, separating each person on the transcript for easy reading.

Re: Speech to. Text for iPhones Jaynie Kind, CA Peninsula Chapter #309 What about CaptionMate? You see both sides of the conversation. I get an email alerting me that I have a voicemail on CaptionMate. (You can turn this setting on or off). I can’t share the conversation either. But InnoCaption allows forwarding of the the transcript (although its only the caller).

Re: Speech to. Text for iPhones Carol in Boston #304 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.
