Somebody Please Help!

Hello, I am deaf but I still can hear with those hearing aids. And I want to be able to call people. The single thing I'm missing, is a software which can display spoken words on my display. It would be good if I could configure this software so that it knows my voice really well so there won't be mistakes like on YouTube subtitles. For example, I want to configure: "Ball". I type "Ball" then I record myself speaking that word. Then it shall not display "bald", "bowl" or something like that where it's pronounced nearly the same. Kind regards!

Action on Hearing Loss (which is the 'trendy' name now favoured by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People, RNID) might be able to offer you advice if you contact them:

Windows 10 has speech recognition software built into it, which has a 'learning' function:

(It's present in earlier versions of Windows too although it might not be as advanced. It's under Start > All Programs > Accessories > Ease of Access)

It should be possible to get it to work with a phone but your phone would need a headphone socket, which could then be connected to the 'line in' socket on a computer. However I'm fumbling in the dark here a bit, because it's not something I've ever tried myself. (Perhaps Action on Hearing Loss could put you in touch with someone with experience in this area?)
