Hearing aids and Bluetooth

In the AnyLang app, sound plays as media, not as a phone call, so Bluetooth headphones and hearing aids get full quality. For people who read rather than listen, offer the original language with live captions.

Many apps that use a live connection set the phone up for a call. Bluetooth then switches to its call mode: mono, telephone quality. The AnyLang app never opens your microphone and tells the phone this is playback, so the sound reaches a Bluetooth hearing aid or cochlear implant at full quality.

  1. Pair the hearing aid or headphones with the phone as usual.
  2. In the app, leave the switch on Headphones β€” a hearing aid counts as headphones.
  3. Pick your language and start listening.

Captions in the language being spoken

Someone hard of hearing may want the speaker's own words as text, not a translation. If the organizer offers the original language, it appears in the language list marked "Original audio + captions". The reading options make the text larger and clearer.
