The application shows you the direction of the voice that's talking to you and shows the spoken words as text on the screen.
We have a three-microphone pattern that sits on top of a hat and sends the angle of where the voice was coming from to your phone, which shows direction. We also have the ability to view the speech as text on a phone.
