Vale!Vale! Every word, big and clear.
Listening · English
Vale! writes down what is said in the room, live and in large type, for anyone who is losing their hearing or finds a conversation hard to follow. Below, a made-up family dinner is captioned the way the app shows it.

One tap
Start. Read. Stop.
One big button starts listening. The same place stops it, in red, with its own symbol and word, so you always know whether Vale! is listening. Nothing to set up first beyond allowing the microphone.

As big as you need.

Your colours
Four ways to read.
High-contrast caption colours, chosen apart from light and dark mode. Words Vale! may still change stay in a softer shade until they settle.

Zero bytes of audio leave your device.
On the device
Speech is recognized on your iPhone, iPad or Mac by Apple’s own recognizer, never in the cloud.
Works offline
The first time you use a language, your device downloads Apple’s speech model for it, from Apple. After that, Vale! writes without internet.
Gone when you close it
The text lives only while the app is open, unless you share it yourself. No account, no ads, no tracking.
Listens in
¿Quién quiere más pasta? Yo, por favor, está buenísima.
Spanish by default, German or English if you choose. The language Vale! listens in is its own setting, apart from the app’s, which is English or Spanish.
Made for the table
Prop it up.
An iPad standing in front of you is easier to read than a phone in your hand. On every screen, the text gets the room and the controls step aside.
La tía Rosa llega el sábado a las tres.
¿Vamos el domingo al mercado del barrio?
Sí, pero temprano, antes de que
Beside hearing care. Never instead of it.
Captions complement a hearing check-up and hearing aids. Vale! is for the moments in between: the dinner, the noisy room, the conversation you would rather read along. It can make mistakes, so don’t rely on it alone for anything important.
Coming later
And it keeps growing.
