Define - new iPhone app

@wiclifmcc This is what you’re looking for. I checked my old phone IOS 18 it wasn’t on that either. So must be new on iPhone 16.

@Deaf_piper
Many thanks - I look forward to trying it

Don I don’t know. I looked for the app in the App Store and couldn’t see it.

I can only guess that this app needs a lot of processing power, just like the AI, so that the older phones are unable to cope?

It is more of an Apple thing of controlling what phones have what features to nudge customers to update to newer phones.
Android has had this for a while, works on many models and brands of phones. Some have it built in, others you just download the app.

@paul.cleary.nz I have only tried NALscribe briefly on my TV. It understood even less than I did! I must give it another go

Can you share a link to it the App Store? Maybe it is only available in certain regions.

@Nordo If you mean Nalscribe just go to the App store (in Apple at least) and search for Nalscribe:live captions. Just looked it up and it was 2nd in a list of 2.

I use my Samsung to translate and we getnsome good laughs.
My gf called her friend and in spanish asked if she wanted us to get her a burrito on the way there. The translation came through as… do you want us to get you a donkey on the way home?

Here is some more information about NALscribe:

NALscribe: live captions5

A solution to help when mask wearing and plexiglass screens make communication more difficult

Please note that it is only available on Apple devices.

Strang can’t find it on my phone 16 pro or on the App Store. Have AI loaded but no Define is that the correct spelling?

I use Live Captions on my Iphone 13. It is easy to set up and I just click the side button three times to use it. It would appear to be very similar to Define. NALscribe but it doesn’t work well unless the speaker is close to me. Another option is the Otter app which works well for me. The basic version is free. For phone calls I rely on InnoCaption which has been a life changer for me. It also free, just have to certify that you have a hearing disability.
