This app provides real-time captions for phone calls, making communication accessible for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Rylo primarily serves individuals who are deaf or have hearing loss. It meets the crucial need for accessible communication during phone calls and in-person conversations. Users can make and receive calls with real-time captions, ensuring they do not miss important information from family members, friends, healthcare professionals, or others.
Your privacy is a priority with Rylo. The app uses end-to-end encryption for all captioning, ensuring that only you can access the captions generated during your conversations. This guarantees that sensitive information remains confidential and secure, with no external parties able to read your calls.
The app provides accurate speech-to-text captions, allowing you to read what the other party is saying during a call. If you prefer to type your responses, a text-to-speech feature accommodates that choice. Captured transcripts of your voicemails ensure that you never miss important messages. In-person conversations also benefit from Rylo Live Transcribe, which offers instant captions.
Rylo includes a personal dictionary for custom words and phrases, boosting caption accuracy for specific terms. You can quickly respond to messages using a keyboard feature and access visual voicemail. Supporting multiple languages for captioning, including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Hebrew, and Italian, the app also features a built-in spam filter and call blocking for a smoother experience.
Rylo works on phones, Chromebooks, and tablets, providing flexibility in communication.
The app offers free live captioning for in-person moments. However, costs may apply for captioned calls, which are funded by a federally administered program.
Emergency calling through Rylo is similar to calling 911, but it's important to keep your registered location updated for accurate service.
Picture-in-Picture captions keep the conversation in view while you multitask. We also tuned things up: smoother onboarding, steadier captions while you type, easier contacts and recents, and more reliable calls, notifications, forwarding, voicemail transcription, and sign-in. Less fuss. More conversation.
