APPS WE LOVE

Catch Every Word With Relay

Privacy-first transcription for the deaf or hard of hearing.

Designed with people who are deaf or hard of hearing in mind, Relay transcribes spoken conversations in real time and displays them in an easy-to-read format.

What we love: Conversations are processed on your iPhone and never uploaded to external servers, so whether you’re in a work meeting or a doctor’s appointment, sensitive conversations stay private. The app is thoughtfully designed for face-to-face interactions: Flip mode rotates text 180 degrees, so the person across from you can read it right side up.

Relay summarizes your recent recordings (in case you forgot what groceries you came to the store to pick up).

Quick tip: Save frequently used phrases (like “Can you repeat that?” or “Where is the restroom?”) as Quick Texts so you can display them with a single tap.
