Deaf - Hearing chat device H for Android
I use this app to communicate with my 84 year old father. His hearing is shot. The app's voice recognition is accurate and pretty fast. The large text on the receiving side is very helpful. It took a little bit to connect my Samsung phone to my tablet, but I figured it out. Pointing out where the "connect" button is on the "H" device would help future users. Well done! Keep the updates coming.
Fantastic. Been using for a couple of years to talk to my dad aged 90 and deaf. However I would like to use when I don't have Wi-Fi (like at the doctor or dentist) but even though I have lollipop and google voice to text works in offline mode with other apps , dh chat doesn't.
Voice input stopped working....no more realtime conversation if i have to type everything
At age 86 my father is completely deaf. Finding ways to communicate was difficult and frustrating for the whole family. Now he can carry his tablet everywhere...restaurants, Dr appointments, shopping. I have the hearing app installed on my phone and have a spare wifi only phone at their house for visitors. I am encouraging my brother and sisters to download the hearing app as well. Thank you for giving my father back some sense of participation in his surroundings
Excellent app for its intended purpose. My father who is 84 has been deaf for several years. Until I found this app I have been communicating either with paper and pencil or email. I have tried other chat apps but their font size were small and hard to read. This afternoon I spent 2 hours talking with my father. I installed this app (H) on an old phone (android 2.2). I installed the "D" app on my father's tablet (Android 4.0). Using the voice input (voice to text) I would speak into phone and then press send to transmit the resulting text to my Dad's tablet. He found the font size easy to read. Since it uses Bluetooth it is much faster than sms or email. Also the large text input button was much easier for my 85 year old mother to find with her bad eyes. I installed this app on an old non-contract phone . I did not activate the phones and just use my father's WIFI. Internet connectivity is need for voice to text. For areas WIFI is not available 3G or 4G is need for voice to text. I will install the H app on my activated phone in the future. $4 is nothing to be able to take my Dad to dinner and "talk" to him. The developer of this app gave me outstanding customer service.

I can't figure out how to get it to work on both devices. I'm hard of hearing and this would be helpful. Paid for it months ago but still haven't figured it out. There's no directions
