Screen saviour: when you discover your app has unexpected uses
Large Text is an app that does just that...it enlarges text 🙃
It’s a fun app that displays text on a full screen (as large as possible). Let's say you're in a bar and you want to order drinks but the bartender can't hear you with all the noise. In that case you just show your mobile screen with your order and that's it.
In the meanwhile we have discovered that this app was having brand new uses:
Covid-19 😷
This new reality brought a lot of challenges for all but some people decided to be creative. Many users found safer ways to communicate using the application, either through car windows, or when ordering from restaurants, coffee shops, etc. The truth is that we all struggle to understand what people are saying, since we all have to wear masks now.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing 👂
Many users shared really heart warming stories like a son who can now communicate with his deaf mother, a receptionist that can understand her deaf customers, nurses in a hospice that installed the application because it helps communicating with deaf and partially-blind patients.
The elderly 👵
We all know that with time our hearing and sight start to deteriorate over time, and Large Text has been a “lifesaviour” for many users.
This really came as a surprise to us and since making our applications more accessible has always been on our plans, now is the time to get into action.
Can you lend us a hand?
Please tell anyone you know who might benefit from Large Text and give us their feedback. With this information we can improve the application.

Nothing would make us happier than knowing that Large Text is making such a difference in people's lives! Let's see if we can take this app to another level with your help.
