OVALS
Speech to text for everything you hear, live captions with voice identification for up to 50 speakers. Text to speech for everything you type, spoken aloud in a natural voice. Built for hard-of-hearing or nonverbal users.
Built for real conversations
Every feature designed to keep you connected.
Speaker Identification
Every voice is told apart automatically, each with its own color. Register up to 50 people you know and they show up by name — so you always see who is saying what in real time.
Keyword Alerts
Set custom trigger words like your name. When detected, you are notified instantly through configurable multi-sensory alerts.
Environmental Awareness
Recognize important sounds around you like alarms, doorbells, and sirens. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
Captions Over Any App
Ovals also captions what your iPhone itself plays — videos, voice notes, any app's sound — and keeps going in a small floating window on top of whatever you're doing.
Catch-Up Summary
Looked away for a minute? One tap gives you a quick recap of what you missed.
Text to Voice
Type anything and Ovals says it out loud — choose from thousands of natural voices across languages and accents.
Voice Cloning
Clone your own voice right on your device — and speak with it anywhere in the app.
Smart Replies
Ovals follows the conversation and suggests replies that fit the moment — tap one and it's spoken for you.
Saved Phrases
Keep the things you say most one tap away, ready to be spoken instantly.
Live Translation
Captions are translated as they arrive, right under the original — and what you type can be spoken aloud in another language.
Multilingual
Accurate transcription across a wide range of languages, accents, and dialects with industry-leading speech recognition.
Phone Calls
Call any number and read every word as live captions — reply by speaking, typing, or tapping a saved phrase.
