Description

From the listing uploaded by “devjam”.

This application simply displays the words that it hears on the screen in large letters. It was written as an aid to communication with deaf people. I have shared it here just in case other people find it useful. The size of the font can be configured. It continually listens and displays text when a sentence has finished. As with all apps that use the Google speech recognition service, it is better to speak slowly and clearly. V1.0 - First release V1.1 - Added reverse scroll feature, improved scrolling V1.2 - Fixed intermittent crash, added clear text feature V1.3 - Added bluetooth support V1.41 - Updated the UI V1.5 - Added extra large and extra extra large fonts V1.6 - Added ability to copy text to clipboard V1.61 - Minor update

Deaf Helper APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
