Ava
Ava turns spoken conversations into live captions on your phone, computer, or browser. Deaf and hard-of-hearing users get real-time text for video calls, lectures, doctor visits, and in-person chats. The service mixes automatic speech recognition with optional human Scribes when a meeting needs ADA-grade accuracy.
Most caption apps stop at whatever accuracy the speech model gives you. Ava lets you stay on free or low-cost AI captions for everyday use, then add a professional Scribe for 99% accuracy when the stakes are higher. Ava Connect drops captions into Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams without rebuilding your meeting workflow around a single platform.
Students, employers, clinics, and event hosts use Ava to caption classes, standups, telehealth sessions, and venue talks. Individual plans start free with 40-minute sessions; organizations can add custom dictionaries, SSO, and scheduled Scribe time.
