How It WorksHow the RoomTalk Caption App Works
No accounts, no setup wall, no menus to learn. Open the RoomTalk listening app, slide one switch, and you are reading the room in seconds.
Slide to Start Listening
A big green switch sits at the top of the screen. Slide it on and a red “Listening” dot shows everyone the phone is now turning nearby speech into captions.
Read the Big Caption
Speech appears as a huge white caption across the bottom half of the screen and it stays on the last thing said, so you always have time to finish reading.
Catch Up and Look Back
Tap the “• • •” to reopen an earlier line, open the full conversation log, or browse saved conversations by date and time.
What You See While It Listens
Everything is arranged so the words are the biggest, clearest thing on the phone.
The newest sentence sits in a large white caption that fills the bottom half of the display. The line just before it stays open in a blue bubble above, so you can still read what was said a moment ago, and older lines tuck away as a tappable “• • •” you can reopen any time.
Because RoomTalk holds the last line on screen instead of scrolling it away, you are never racing the text. When you switch listening off, the whole conversation is saved so you can read it back later, organized by Today, Yesterday, or any date.
It all runs on the phone with bundled speech models, so the captions keep working with no wifi and no signal even in airplane mode.
RoomTalk is also the simplest app to talk to a deaf person: a hearing person speaks, the words appear in big text, and a deaf or non-speaking person can follow along and take part. Many people use it as a talk without speaking app for everyday conversations at home, at the counter, or at the doctor.
