Ava (Live Captioning App)

The step up when free phone captions stop being enough: meetings, lectures and group conversations where you need to know who said what. Ava runs on phones, the web and Windows and Mac desktops, and Ava Connect brings captions into Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. The free plan covers unlimited basic captions in sessions of up to 40 minutes. Its real distinction is Ava Scribe, which pairs automatic captions with professional human captioners who correct the text as it goes, in the way a CART captioner works. That is the option to push an employer, college or hospital to pay for, since Ava sells plans to companies, schools and healthcare providers. Ava advertises 99% accuracy; judge it in your own noisiest meeting before committing.
