Can you please get that app's name? It sounds like something that would immensley help me. I'm hard of hearing and something like this would be amazing to have handy when I can't wear my hearing aids in a specific situation.

I would really appreciate this.

I can ask her when I see her, but that might be a while. I'm pretty sure it's Live Transcribe on Android. https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/9158...

As the other commenter pointed out, iOS now has it. There are also apps in the app stores.
