iKK Voice Mic

iKK Voice Mic is the companion app to iKK Voice for people who are hard of hearing. It turns your iPhone into a microphone: you speak into your own phone, and what you say appears as text on the hard-of-hearing person's phone – large, easy to read and with your name.

HOW IT WORKS

1. The hard-of-hearing person starts the "Hearing impaired" mode in iKK Voice and shows a QR code.
2. You enter your name and scan the code.
3. Tap the microphone and speak – that's it.

Everyone who joins sees the conversation as a chat: each person with their name, each sentence on its own line. Several people around a table can take part at the same time, each with their phone as a microphone.

CONNECTION

• Directly over the local Wi‑Fi or the hotspot of the iKK Voice phone – no internet, no server.
• Or over the internet through an MQTT broker of your own that the hard-of-hearing person sets up in iKK Voice.
• Audio and text are end-to-end encrypted either way. The key is in the QR code and is valid for that session only.

NO SETUP NEEDED

iKK Voice Mic needs no account, no speech service and no API key. Speech recognition is done by iKK Voice on the hard-of-hearing person's phone – with the service chosen there.

PRIVACY

The app stores only your name and a random device identifier. We run no servers and receive no recordings or texts.

NOTE

iKK Voice Mic only works together with iKK Voice (iPhone, Mac or Android) and cannot be used on its own.
