"This application will help you understand everything being said around you."

🛡️

Your words stay yours.

Ear Help was built on a simple principle: the conversations around you are private. We have absolutely no interest in them — and we've built the app so it's technically impossible for us to ever access them.

🚫
Zero Data Collection
We collect nothing. No audio. No transcripts. No usage data. No analytics. Nothing at all.
📵
No Internet Required
Transcription works entirely offline using your iPhone's on-device capabilities. No data is ever sent anywhere.
🗑️
Nothing Retained
When you close the app, your transcripts disappear. Nothing is saved, stored, or logged — not even locally beyond the session.

This application does not collect any information. Nothing is captured, nothing is retained. All transcription happens in a fully disconnected mode, leveraging internal phone features and capabilities. There are no servers, no accounts, no tracking — only you and the conversations around you.

Last updated: February 2026 · Ear Help is provided as a free accessibility tool with no monetization of user data, ever.

Start hearing

Join thousands of users who've rediscovered conversations. Free, private, and always will be.
