Live Transcribe Android App

Live Transcribe provides free, real-time caption of your conversations.

Live Transcribe is an accessibility app designed for the Deaf and hard of hearing and usable by anyone. Using Google's state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition technology, Live Transcribe performs real-time transcription of speech and sound to text on your screen, so you can more easily participate in conversations going on in the world around you. You can also keep the conversation going by typing your response on the screen.

Real-time transcription:
• Supports transcription in over 70 languages and dialects.

Referring back to transcription:
