Unless Google Live Transcribe has a new app very recently, it does not work with Apple I-phones.

Very true. Try Otter which is very similar but works on any device. Or buy a cheap Android phone to use Google which I’ve done.

Hi,

Yes, only Android so far.. I have an Android.....tried Otter a couple of times but prefer Live Transcribe which picked up where Otter did not. I’ll keep trying Otter.

That's correct. I bought an Android tablet, but need to add a mic for group meetings as the tablet can't pick up soft voices well. Also, Live Transcribe doesn't show up as an installed app (a known problem), so I have to ask to download it each time I start it--just search for it without downloading so that it appears and fires up. It also requires WiFi, which is often missing in my small town's various meeting places. I believe the WiFi provides the dictionary of words the app requires. It does well with rich voices but fails with voices that don't have lots of overtones.
