Hi.
I agree that Innocaption is great.
Do you by any chance also use Live Transcribe? I have loved it for a year but now am having problems with it.

Hi,
I rely heavily on Live Transcribe especially in these masked times. There are some areas, like my salon, where the WiFi is weak and it doesn’t work at all. It also doesn’t work well in restaurants and other similar noisy environments even if the phone is right up near the speaker’s mouth. I have TextHear on my phone which is not very accurate and also Otter which is more accurate. You have to keep hitting the mic icon on TextHear and hold the phone closer to the person speaking. I am going to try Otter today at a very noisy restaurant and report back on that. My Samsung Galaxy s7 has a powerful mic but the phone desperately needs to be upgraded. I sometimes turn the phone upside down when using Live Transcribe so the mic is facing the sound source. I was considering an external mic but will wait for my upgrade.
What kind of problems are you having?

@davekoh, if you're starting to have problems with Live Transcribe, its probably not the app itself. The microphone on the device may be starting to fail. You may want to look into buying an external mic and try it again. Also, that app requires WiFi. Maybe the signal strength is causing a problem???
