Nagish: Caption Your Calls

What Nagish does

Nagish: Caption Your Calls adds live captions to phone calls, giving people who are deaf or hard of hearing a way to follow conversations by reading them in real time. It also provides transcripts for calls and voicemails, so missed or unclear parts can be reviewed later.

Who it suits

The app is designed for people with hearing loss who want more independence during everyday calls. Nagish can be useful for personal conversations, appointments, services and other situations where hearing every word matters. It is also intended for people who prefer captions without relying on an interpreter or another person to assist with the call.

Beyond phone calls

Nagish Live provides instant captions for in-person conversations and spoken events. That makes it relevant in places such as lectures, airports, medical appointments and other noisy environments. A personal dictionary can help the transcription recognize words, phrases or acronyms that are important to the user.

Privacy and track record

The service is built around private communication: its captions are handled without human captioners, and the company states that conversations remain secure end to end. Nagish also supports keeping an existing phone number for calls and texts, which reduces disruption when adopting the app.

Developed by Nagish Inc. in the Communication category, the app has passed 100,000+ installs and holds a 4.04 rating from 1,410 reviews. Those figures do not explain every experience, but they show that Nagish has moved beyond a small trial and found a continuing audience among people who need accessible calling.
