Introducing the NEW Android App!

New Android App
The new πŸ€– Android App is a completely new Ava app for Android. Not only is it better and faster than the old app, but we’ve also redesigned it for a better experience. Ava 2.0 incorporates state-of-the-art technology to offer you a faster, stronger, and more feature-rich live captioning experience that is better than Google’s Live Transcribe.
