Hard of hearing - Voice calls into words

Is there a function (app) that allows phone conversations to be translated into words (text) as the phone conversation is going on??


Hard of hearing…


Seen products in tv that provides this function. But think that my iPhone can provide the same. In the same manner that I am dictating this note.


Appreciate your help

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Hello rrangel47,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. There's a feature called Live Captions (beta) that's available on your iPhone 14 with iOS 16. It states here: "With Live Captions (beta), spoken dialogue is turned into text and displayed in real time on your iPhone screen. You can more easily follow the audio in any app, such as FaceTime or Podcasts, and in live conversations around you. Live Captions is available on iPhone 11 and later when the primary language is set to English (U.S.) or English (Canada)."


That information is outlined in this article and how you can set it up: Get live captions in real time on iPhone - Apple Support


Best regards.
