Earshot

On-device live captions.

Earshot turns your iPhone into a real-time caption machine — for conversations, lectures, doctor visits, anywhere you want to read along. Everything runs on your phone: your audio is never sent to a server, never logged, never stored. No accounts, no analytics, no ads.

It also recognizes urgent sounds — smoke alarms, doorbells, a crying baby — and can translate other languages to English on the fly. Built for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
