HLAA Product Showcase Webinar: Enable Captions on Your Existing Phone Number with the Nagish Mobile App
When: Tuesday, April 26, 2022
Time: 2-2:30 p.m. (ET) with 20 minutes for product demo and 10 minutes for Q&A.
Nagish (which means ’Accessible’ in Hebrew) makes phone calls more accessible.
Nagish is a mobile app available for iOS and Android devices. It looks and feels just like your existing phone. The only difference is that with Nagish you can choose to read your calls or hear them while seeing captions on your screen. Nagish empowers you to use your own voice or your device’s keyboard to speak.
The app is 100% private, over 90% accurate and has no latency.
Some key features include:
- Keep your existing phone number to place and receive captioned calls.
- Add words (such as names) to a personal dictionary — we will never get them wrong.
- Automatically adapting our algorithms depending on the context of your call.
- Works with Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVRS).
- Use the keyboard, or your own voice to speak.
- Turn up the volume using your device’s loudspeaker.
- End-to-end encrypted. Only you have access to your calls.
Nagish is free, and is available for download here.
Tune in to this product showcase to learn how you can use Nagish to make your calls more accessible, and have a Q&A session with the company’s founder and CEO.

- Use a computer. If possible, attend the meeting on a computer rather than via a smart phone or iPad. This will give you the best layout to view the captions as well as other meeting features.
