Users love it:
“Just so you know, this app has changed my 86 year old mother&#039;s life. It is simple and easy for her and her friends to use. This is so important for the elderly since so many other apps are way too complicated. She can really have one on one conversations, especially with me, which is so very important.”
- Mark M

Doctors trust it:
&quot;I use this w my HOH senior patients when the hearing aides aren&#039;t even enough to compensate for the hearing loss. This works great. I have recommended it to my nursing/CNA staff to use as well.”

## Live Transcribe Reviews in Canada

### *---- "Overpriced"
The app works the way it should. It just is extremely overpriced. Paying for the basic subscription should give you unlimited time. I unfortunately subscribe for a year.
-- Court Brooker, 2026-03-18

### ***-- "Sweet"
First time user hopeful it helps
-- Super gran Beverly, 2026-03-04

### ****- "Amazing service"
Live transcribe has helped better my work life as a hearing impaired person! it works with many different accents. 95% accurate. 
Theres only one small down fall, you can not use it on the same device you are making calls on. maybe a future update could include this
-- lydiamho1991, 2026-01-27

### **--- "Too expensive"
It looks like Live Transcribe bought out Hearing Helper which was a fantastic app and it was free. Now at a cost of $99 USD per year for Live Transcribe, there are many hearing impaired people on a limited income who won’t be able to afford it.
-- Georgia04, 2025-11-21

### **--- "Too high price"
Too much money cost for that.
-- sleleo, 2025-10-31

### *---- "No free"
Why put that application is only to take advantage of the fact that people download it without knowing that it is not free and it is also very expensive, for us with hearing problems we need a FREE application
-- cita16, 2025-06-26

### ***** "Grateful user."
Excellent Ap.. Especially impressed at how well it translates messages saved on my device. It will be perfect for my mother who is quite deaf at 100 years old, but if she can understand what is being said to her, she is still sharp as a tack.
-- woodheet, 2025-06-14

### *---- "deaf"
great idea but very expensive why make it so people can’t afford
-- scoopy9, 2025-05-26

### *---- "Not free"
I found another that’s free 
$12 is too high to subscribe
-- patrcia m, 2025-02-13

### **--- "Cost to pay?  If so, I’m strongly opposed.  Deaf deserve to have free to use!"
See above
-- MacDraker, 2025-01-29

### ***-- "First attempt"
Pleased with what I could hear of transcription.
-- RickMardonne, 2025-01-14

### *---- "Mixed experience - but subscribed anyway"
I subscribed for the year despite maintaining my old 1 star review.

A few months ago I did a free trial and then purchased 10 hours thinking I could Pay As I Go (misleading IAP).  The team of 3 would have earned more annually from me via pay per use. So I lost those hours when the trial expired. 

Anyway I subscribed simply because it&#039;s the best. Picked my poison as a manner of speaking.
100x better than native Live Captions (even in offline mode too!!), will stay reliably onscreen for hours auto captioning a dinner table nicely.

As I software develop and run an accessibility company, I understand business needs. But this is a really bad &quot;own goal&quot;.

Still sad the lost hours were lost though; and that my feature request submission was ignored. For this reason I remain an annual subscriber while also keeping this 1-star review.
-- Rejoma01, 2024-11-03

### ***-- "Frustrating…"
I’m a subscriber and I use this app for short-sentence communication with a deaf relative. I’m NOT liking the recently added feature of being asked to save translations when clearing them. This slows down a conversation steam and has no purpose for simple conversation exchange. Please make this an option in settings to turn on or off. Thank you.
-- Sickofadbars, 2024-04-17

### ***** "Fantastic app"
It’s incredibly useful for communicating with my deaf relative. Very good at transcribing my words and very legible for her to read. I’d give it 10 stars if possible!
-- Ordefam, 2024-03-28

### ***-- "pas génial."
ne fais pas grande difference entre phrases, noms communs ou propres, c&#039;est un chaos de mots approximatifs mis ensemble. je donne 3 étoiles pq j&#039;ai vu pire.
-- tyb4-er57, 2024-03-09

### ***** "Excellent"
This app made my life ten times easier. 10/10
-- Kecyp, 2024-03-02

### ***** "Love love love Live Transcribe"
Recommended by a Deaf friend, I shared this with my dad who’s Hard of Hearing for a large event we attended. Great result and my dad felt more included overall. I use it to transcribe content quickly and find the black background, white letters, and larger fonts fantastic for easy use.
-- drakefriend, 2024-02-15

### ***** "Best real time transcriber available."
I’ve recommended to several people. A total life changer for anyone who is hearing impaired.

Trish Wheaton
-- Wheaton Trish, 2024-02-09

### ***** "Good app!"
I find this app very helpful.
-- Sophiazzziiii, 2024-02-08

### *---- "Bait and switch"
The demo of this app was great, so I ponied up for the paid version. Come to find out, even with a subscription, I only get 5h every 12 days to use the demo/premium version. However, the subscription comes with a free unlimited basic version that is absolutely terrible. Talk to text for iMessenger is a million times better! So glad I only paid for a month, and not the annual subscription they try to push. It is a complete sham that they market this basic service for people with hearing disability - it could be malpractice! Definitely looking for other options, have already cancelled subscription.
