CaptionCall is a mobile application designed to provide real-time text captions for phone calls and voice messages, enhancing accessibility and understanding. It automatically converts spoken words into text, making calls easier to follow, review later, and particularly beneficial for individuals with hearing loss or those in loud environments. The app aims to bridge communication gaps and ensure nothing is missed during conversations.

CaptionCall offers practical value by simplifying communication and providing a record of calls without needing separate hardware or complex setups. Its ability to instantly display captions allows users to actively participate in calls, follow along with news or instructions, and even share transcripts easily. This makes it a versatile tool for personal use, remote work, education accessibility, and more situations where clear dialogue is essential.

App Features

• Real-time Captions: Automatically transcribes speech during calls and messages, displayed clearly on your screen. This immediate transcription helps users understand fast-paced conversations or follow detailed instructions without straining to listen, especially valuable in noisy settings or for frequent conference calls.
• Customizable Settings: Adjust caption appearance (font size, color, background) and sensitivity level within the app. These settings allow users to optimize readability for personal preference or specific lighting conditions, ensuring comfortable viewing during long usage sessions.
• Export and Share Options: Save captions as text files or share them via email, messaging, or social media apps. This feature is incredibly useful for documentation, creating meeting notes without missing a beat, or easily communicating key points from discussions with colleagues or clients.
• Background Noise Filtering: Enhances caption accuracy by reducing distractions from ambient sounds during calls. This makes CaptionCall particularly effective for calls made in busy offices, public transport, or cafes, ensuring the primary voice remains clear and intelligible.
• Multi-device Sync: Seamlessly sync preferences and recently used contacts across your phone and compatible smart devices. This allows users to switch between devices effortlessly, maintaining their personalized caption experience whether they’re at home, work, or on the go, and easily accessing their caption history across platforms.
• Data Usage Monitoring: Provides estimates for caption generation to help users anticipate and manage their mobile data consumption. This is essential for users relying on cellular data, preventing unexpected data plan overages during extended call sessions, especially important for international roaming scenarios.
