Voice to Text Technology - Advice Please?

[ReeceMichael]

On the 18th of January, I will be attending a 'workshop' of about 20 people communicating with a company elsewhere via individual i-pads or iPhones, supplied by the organisers of the event. I do not own an i-phone/pad.

Being partially deaf, this presents obvious problems for me. Do any of you know of any good reliable i-pad/phone apps etc that will translate whatever they are saying into text for me, please?

TIA

Lots of phones and tablets have this already built in via the "accessibility application option."
It will vary from phone to phone. But I know my Samsung s6 has it and all the iphones I have used have it.

Also google has it for maps and browsing etc

simple searching will find many more

Good luck

I would recommend you use headphones that have a built in microphone. That way you will experience the best sound quality at a louder level. If you use a hearing aid and have a loop amp system at home you could connect the output of the iPad to the loop amp, which will allow you to pick up the sound directly into hearing aid when it's in the 'T' position.
