Description
Show Words is a text communication app designed specifically for showing words to the person in front of you.
With its flip display feature, you can keep the phone facing yourself—even while holding the microphone close to your mouth—and still let the other person read the text in the correct orientation. There’s no need to turn the phone around or change how you hold it.
Whether you’re communicating with someone who is deaf or hard of hearing, in a noisy environment, wearing a mask, or temporarily unable to speak, Show Words is built for moments when you need to communicate clearly and immediately.
We intentionally keep the app simple by removing unnecessary complexity.
Type it. Show it. That’s all.
The interface is designed so anyone can start using it right away, without explanation.

Anyone in environments where voices are hard to hear, such as noisy places or while wearing a mask
Situations where speaking is temporarily difficult or impossible
Those who want to quickly write and show messages instead of using paper
Supporting simple written communication with elderly people, children, or non-native speakers
