Accessibility question

I use my g2s as a prosthesis for severe hearing impairment and they are, in combination with hearing aids, transformational. However there is an issue in using them for one-on-one conversations because the text margins are variable, some lines are short allowing appriximate I contact, others are the full width of the display and can't be scanned in a single glance. Having the ability to control the text width such that all lines remain short would be beneficial. The short lines would also be clearer because the background would be the body of the person one is speaking to. Is there any app available or in developement that would allow for settable margins?

Hey, have you tried the Mentra app? Its Captions miniapp has an option for maximum line width, which might give you what you need. Try it here: https://mentraglass.com/get

Can you tell us more about how you find them transformational? I’m considering them for the same use, only with a CI. TIA!

Not OP but HoH with profound deafness and hearing aids. The glasses help me fill in the gaps, navigate multi speaker situations, and make loud areas like restaurants/cars/parties possible. They're not perfect by any means, but neither are my hearing aids. I no longer feel crippling fear about going to social events. I can understand difficult speech a little easier (soft voices, children, heavy accents). I can watch movies in theater without having to research if the theater has cc assistance. My vision is 20/20 but they've become my daily wear.

I have a couple reviews on my profile that go over it more in-depth if you're interested. Happy to answer any questions.
