No strangers listening in.\n\nLIVE CAPTIONS FOR REAL LIFE\nOur built-in feature, Rylo Live Transcribe, captions in-person conversations instantly: family dinners, doctor's appointments, airports, or anywhere else you don't want to miss a word.\n\nYOUR PRIVACY IS PROTECTED\nCaptions are generated with end-to-end encryption. No human involvement. No one reading your calls but you.\n\nBUILT FOR THE DEAF COMMUNITY, BY THE DEAF COMMUNITY\nRylo was built with direct input from the Deaf and hard of hearing communities. Every feature exists because someone in the community needed it. Accessibility matters.\n\nKEY FEATURES\n■ Live caption calls with transcripts\n■ Live captioning for in-person moments (Rylo Live Transcribe) \n■ Personal dictionary for custom words and phrases\n■ Quick keyboard responses as needed\n■ Visual voicemail\n■ Save transcripts privately on your device\n■ Multilingual captioning: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Hebrew, Italian\n■ Built-in spam filter and call blocking\n■ Profanity blocker\n■ FCC certified \n\n\"Rylo is the true definition of a game-changer. Their goal is to ensure effective and smooth communication.\" — Verified user\n\"I was able to make a phone call myself. I set up my own appointment. I could clearly read every word the recipient was saying to me. I explained to her I was deaf and I was using closed captioning. It was amazing. Thank you Rylo for allowing me to be more independent.\" — Verified user\n\nDownload Rylo.
