Smartphones + Hearing Impaired

[rosyposy]

I have been told that some of the smartphones/iphones have an app (or whatever) so you can actually read live text as someone is speaking to you (maybe including movies?). I wonder if anyone on AB is using anything like this and what do you think of it. It sounds very interesting and heaven knows hardly any shops seem to have their loop system switched on which makes it quite difficult when shopping alone. -rosy
