Ear Help turns your iPhone into a live conversation transcriber — giving people with hearing loss a real-time text window into the world around them.
What makes it special
Choose any available microphone on your device, and fine-tune input sensitivity to match your environment — from a quiet dinner to a noisy café.
Conversations are transcribed in real time directly on your screen. No lag, no delay — words appear as they're spoken, giving you the full context of every exchange.
Everything happens on your device using Apple's built-in speech recognition. No cloud. No servers. No data leaving your phone. Ever.
Switch instantly between "Quiet Room" and "Loud Environment" presets optimized for different acoustic conditions, with fine-grained manual controls.
Ear Help leverages iOS speech recognition to support dozens of languages and regional dialects — wherever you are in the world.
Designed with hearing-impaired users at the core. Large, readable text. Minimal interface. Zero friction — open the app, tap, and hear the world.
Simple by design
Pick the built-in mic, a connected headset, or any Bluetooth audio device. Ear Help gives you full control over your audio source.
Adjust input gain, sample rate, and use environment presets so transcription accuracy matches your specific situation perfectly.
Tap the mic button and watch words appear live on screen. Follow any conversation with confidence, no matter the environment.
"This application will help you understand everything being said around you."
Privacy Policy
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.
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.
