A Game-Changer for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals
I've been using the Hello Transcribe app on my iPhone 15 Pro and it's nothing short of revolutionary for someone like me who is hard of hearing. Powered by Whisper (OpenAI), the transcription is not only accurate but also incredibly fast. The app runs natively and offline, thanks to the advanced A16 Pro chip and specialized Neural Engine, further supported by the CoreML framework. The icing on the cake is the Action Button – initiating live transcription has never been so immediate. Previously, I had to deal with slow, unreliable alternatives that required an internet connection. However, there’s one minor issue: the app sometimes tries to transcribe ambient noises or even attempts transcription when there’s no sound at all. This area could use some improvement. Despite this, Hello Transcribe has substantially improved my written communication and daily life. Five stars, with room for a small tweak!
