Olelo Captioned Calls is an easy-to-use, 100%-private app developed by MachineGenius, a telecommunications company founded in Holliston, Massachusetts in 2017 and operationalized in 2020. The app is powered by Wifi or cellular data and is available on both Android/iOS smartphones and tablets. Our mission is to help people with hearing loss have a seamless calling experience. Using advanced speech recognition technology, Olelo combines simplicity, accuracy, and speed to create next-generation captioned telephone service. All calls are captioned in real-time and transcribed in under one second. We stand out against the competition by not only transcribing both sides of the conversation, but Olelo is completely powered by AI Technology, resulting in no third-party interpreter, making all conversations private. Olelo has similar features to the native calling app on all phones, an option to make it the default calling app and is available in Spanish (with more languages to come). The app is at no cost for those with hearing loss and is supported by the Federal TRS/IP CTS fund. Olelo’s goal is simple: empower users with the independence to place and receive calls confidently.
