Rylo builds a free call captioning and live transcription application for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing. The app delivers real-time captions for both phone conversations and in-person communication on mobile devices. It is offered at no cost to users with hearing loss.
The product rests on a technical stack spanning automated speech recognition, natural language processing, text-to-speech and real-time transcription. The system supports more than 50 languages and detects when a language changes mid-conversation. Additional features include AI-generated quick replies, speaker sentiment tracking, customizable caption styles and transcripts saved locally on the user's device rather than in the cloud.
The app is designed to work with hearing aids, cochlear implants and Bluetooth headsets, and is intended to help users communicate with family, friends and healthcare providers. Rylo operates in the assistive technology, healthcare accessibility and telecommunications fields, with an stated emphasis on inclusive design and privacy.
