Our take

Picture a work meeting where every spoken word shows up on your phone. That is the idea behind Bridge Live, a new iOS and Android app from Mezmo Technologies. The company says it shows real-time captions of in-person meetings, presentations and conversations on a phone or tablet, and a live share feature lets you pass the captions to others who need them. According to Mezmo, Bridge Live comes with every purchase of its Bridge device, which captions work phone calls and online meetings. Claims about speed and accuracy are the company’s own, and we have not tested it.

Who it may help: Deaf and hard-of-hearing people who want captions for face-to-face conversations at work.
