Hi
That is frustrating. I have only come across one place that Live Transcribe won’t work...happens to be my salon but still a mystery as it works everywhere else. And I have signed into their network. Do you have Accessibility for this app turned on? I turned mine off to get rid of the floating microphone and it still works. I have been reading where newer Samsung’ owners are having problems using this app so I am sticking with my Samsung S7
When I go to some Doctors I have to choose their network as it always doesn’t take me there automatically. I have also had to toggle WiFi on and off for it to work on occasion. So I always check the WiFi setting before I enter certain buildings.
In a pinch I downloaded an app called TextHear which I can use although not as accurate and voices need to be closer. Otter is okay but this app is better for me. Reviews on this app mention your problem and you can send a message to live transcribe help at goggle.com or so they say. My conclusion is that goggle is not very responsive and the app does not seem to work on all Androids as claimed.
If I do upgrade my phone out of necessity, I am going to make sure the app works. I have a friend who has Sprint and she can’t use it even though we have the same phones. I have Verizon. I am going to research this further because it works so well for me and I wish the same for all Android users.

Well dang. This is is the first time in years that I splurged and got a current model and not refurbished. I've got the Note 20. And I'm on Sprint. Other than this, I've been really happy with its new accessibility features. It's has live captions, so will caption anything playing through my phone. And it's set up for TTY, although I haven't figured that out yet. I hope I can figure Live Transcribe out.

I haven't yet found a meeting room where Live Transcribe works, but this is a largely rural area. Haven't yet found an induction loop anywhere in the county, either. We're still working to recover from the forest fires we've had, one that threatened the town. In a town that has absolutely no affordable housing (but lots of expensive vacation rentals), we suddenly have over a hundred homes, mostly very modest or mobile, gone from the area just north of town. It almost seems as though this fire targeted those who had the least, so everyone is pitching in to provide whatever we can: food, clothing, toiletries, a temporary place to stay. After over a week working in church parking lots to distribute things to people who suddenly have nothing, not hearing well is not a problem.
