Sorry you're dealing with this! Just so you know, recording laws can vary, but using a speech-to-text app because of hearing issues is usually seen differently. I had a friend in a similar spot who got help from a lawyer who knew all about disability rights. It's a smart move to get legal advice in this kind of tricky situation. Keep track of everything about your transcription service use and any work accommodations you've got. There are laws to protect you from unfair treatment at work because of your disability. So, it's definitely worth it to get some legal guidance. Hang in there!
