OT: Looking for FOSS Recommendations for Telephone Speech to Text Devices for the Hard of Hearing

[Ed]

Hi Mark - just a suggestion as I don't have a link to share: There are
call center headsets made to work with hearing aids and that might
work for your mother-in-law and some are in "operator" style, vs "road
warrior" style, that might be easier to use.

She does not have a cell phone and does not want to learn how to use one, so texting is not an option. She has internet and wifi in her apartment and a phone line. It would have to be super easy to use, as she is not tech-savvy. She is local, so I could set it all up for her.
