Thank you. I have brain damage, and things get overwhelming. I did need to pause a few times, but, that's just me. I looked up others' instructions, with no help, but, yours was simple, and straight to the point. Thank you!
You’re so welcome Tina! Thanks for watching!
Currently I’m using just the Voice app on my iPad & transcribing by hand. Using Captions will help me immensely when taking our club minutes. I then have to transmit via email a PDF to our newsletter editor that’s using Word. Will replay this video until I get all the steps to do this. Thank you so much for this big timesaver.😊
So glad you found the video helpful Kathy!
Hello Ellen the text in translation is really good for anyone hard of hearing. Live listen is new to me thank you for your help and guidance it is so helpful.
You are so welcome Flossy!! Thanks so much for your comments!
I have an iPhone XR running IOS 17.4.1 and I have live captions. I'm glad to find out that it works in Translate.
Great to hear!! I’m glad you like the Translate option.
Hi Ellen!
That is pretty neat to see the transcription of the voice memo! Also, as an added benefit to be able to use the Translate app and the Memos app to be able to show someone so they see the printed text as you speak. Thank you Ellen for all the special videos you post. I learn a lot from you. Thanks for your effort and research to put out such detailed and informative videos. Love and Kindness, Teresa
Thank you Teresa! Your comments are always so thoughtful and kind! ❤️
Very cool workarounds using existing apps/features. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Appreciate you taking the time to watch.
I am so thankful I found your site! I just switched from android to iOS And I’m learning so much from you. I can’t wait to share it with my sister!✝️
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it.
Interesting. I tried the voice memo demo and it worked. The other suggestions thankfully I don’t need (yet) but these videos are always great to look back on when I get stuck. Question - I notice YT has made the text smaller when I text in this comment box though it appears ‘normal’ size when I push send and it enters your comment section. Have you noticed this too (or have I somehow changed things in settings somewhere ie domino effect - sigh). Great content as always.
Glad it helped!
This is great to know. I really appreciate your tips. A question I have is this, is there a way to save the transcribed voice memo? I use the voice memo a lot for conferences so I can go back and review and transcribe myself. But having it transcribed for me is even better and better use of my time. As now I can quickly read through for the points I am looking for. Therefore the reason for wanting to be able to save this transcription.
As of now you would need a third party app to save it. Hopefully Apple will add that feature. Thanks so much for watching!
Maybe do a screenshot of the page?
Take a look at Otter in the App Store.
Otter is a great app that transcribes and creates a text-based transcript. BUT…the basic version restricts both the duration of each transcript as well as the number of transcripts per month and it’s pretty stingy!; the fee-based pro version is not much better; and the business version is really pricey but is really feature-rich. I went with the business version because I have a lot of lengthy calls I want to preserve transcripts for, so I made room in my budget for the business version.
Ellen, does the Live Cations icon stay on your screen all the time? Also, “Live Captions Listening” stays on my screen. I used the back arrow to make it disappear. Is this correct? Also, I’ve not used the Translation app before. How do you delete your conversation? Thanks, Teresa
Great questions. Yes the Live Captions icon stays on the screen but will kind of become hidden. Yes the back arrow should stop the listening. Swipe left on the conversation in Translate and the delete option will appear. Hope that helps.
I have an iPhone 15 running 17.5 beta. Interestingly, I don’t have the Live Captions option. Maybe this is only for US market?
Sorry Jeff! You are correct. It’s only available on iPhones using US or Canadian English.
I’m in US and I don’t have it either. She also appears to be running beta.
Has nothing to do with the Beta. This is from Apple’s site:
“With Live Captions (beta), spoken dialogue is turned into text and displayed in real time on your iPhone screen. You can more easily follow the audio in any app, such as FaceTime or Podcasts, and in live conversations around you. Live Captions is available on iPhone 11 and later when the primary language is set to English (U.S.) or English (Canada).”
There is no live captions on my iPhone XR version 17.4.1
Sorry Liz… is your iPhone set to US English or Canadian English? If not you won’t see Live Captions. Hopefully Apple releases to everyone in the next big update.

My 17.4.1 iPhone 11 doesn’t have what you have,
Do you live outside the US or Canada? If so that’s the problem. So sorry.
It has nothing to do with the Beta. What iPhone do you have. This is from Apple’s site:

@@EllensTipsForiOS I live in the USA, have an iPhone 11 and it’s 17.4.1 and it’s different than yours.
I wish I knew why. It has nothing to with the beta on my iPhone. You’ve checked under Accessibility>Hearing?
You go too fast
Sorry Maggie!
Just go to your settings and change the playback speed. I had to speed it UP to watch, but then again, I talk twice as fast as she does.🤣
Thanks for the helpful tip Cindy!
