How much does it cost to make an app?

Excellent idea, I tested the app, it looks OK for its use-case, but I'll be critical. I'm deaf, but I have a hard time talking with strangers, not with the people I know. I need a tool for a particular use-case – to talk with random strangers, not really for the conversations. When I had Android phone, I used Yandex.Talk application: https://github.com/yandex/deaf, which did exactly what I wanted, interpreted speech in real-time. I used it for talking with random strangers, for example when ordering something in the restaurant, to be able to understand waiters, for example. But it was atrocious with deciphering English speech. OK with Russian, even when I had Android phone with a bad microphone, so I used an external microphone, which is directed. But it does not have a version for iOS. So, I was excited for Ava, when I read about it. I emigrated to New Zealand, and I need now the application that can decipher English, not Russian. Tested and had some usability caveats: 1. When the system language is Russian, it transcribes speech only in the Russian. Surprisingly, it's good. Needed to turn the system language to the English so that the application can do what I need. Maybe you need to add language setup to the settings? 2. Not application related, but looks like the iPhone 5s's microphone is awful, so I still need an external microphone. 3. Crashes a lot. 4. It looks like for using this app for conversations everyone needs to install the application on their phones and talk directly into microphones. Sounds Good, but in practice isn't. I can't convince everyone to install it, and it adds inconvenience for everyone else, not just me. I'll give it some more try with an external mic. I really need the application with the ability to interpret the speech... Do it, make it big, I'm rooting for you.
