eyeHear®
Caption Any Conversation™
Press and hold the screen. eyeHear listens through your device's microphone and shows what the person in front of you is saying, in large, easy-to-read text, as they say it.
Free on iPhone and iPad. No account, no ads, no in-app purchases.
Come sit by me, I want to hear about the trip
eyeHear while someone is speaking. This is the real type size.
How it works
No buttons to find and nothing to set up. The screen itself is the control.
There's no button to look for
The whole screen is the control. Open eyeHear and you'll see an empty page waiting.
Press and hold anywhere
Put your thumb down anywhere at all. There's no right spot. It listens for as long as you hold, like a walkie-talkie.
Let go to stop
Lift your thumb and the session saves to History on your device. It stays there to read again, copy, or share, only if you choose to.
There's no button to find. That's the whole idea.
If you're looking for a record button, you'll keep looking. Press the screen itself and hold. Prefer to type? A keyboard works too.
Using VoiceOver or Switch Control? The screen works as a single "Start captioning" button. No holding required.
Why people keep it on the home screen
Built for a conversation, not a transcript
eyeHear is made for the person in front of you: one screen, huge type, nothing else on it. It is not a note-taker or a meeting recorder.
Large, easy-to-read text
Captions fill the screen and scale automatically, so they can be read at arm’s length or handed across a table.
Private by design
Where your device and language support it, recognition runs on the device. Your captions stay on your device. We never receive them.
Free, with no in-app purchases
Free on iPhone and iPad. No account, no subscription, no ads, and nothing to unlock.
What people tell us
Granddad is in the hospital and even the doctors are so grateful to be able to communicate so easily.
It is so easy to use and while occasional mistakes occur, they are FEW and FAR between and likely due to the speakers speech pattern or enunciation.
eyeHear is an aid, not a substitute for a qualified human interpreter or CART provider. Occasional mistakes can happen, especially with strong accents, fast speech, or noisy rooms. eyeHear is not a formal accommodation and is not intended for emergency, medical, legal, or financial situations.
