Problem
d/Deaf and non-speaking individuals often cannot use standard phone calls, which rely on real-time spoken conversation. This limits their ability to independently contact government services, institutions, hotlines, businesses, friends, and family, creating barriers to essential communication and access.
Solution
CallBridge is a speech-to-text and text-to-speech app designed specifically for d/Deaf and non-speaking individuals to make and receive phone calls. The app converts the caller's typed text into spoken words for the person on the other end, and transcribes the other party's spoken responses into text for the user to read. This enables users to handle phone calls independently without needing a hearing person to relay the conversation. The person being called does not need to download the app, and the service is free to use.
Target Audience
Primary users are d/Deaf and non-speaking individuals who need to make or receive phone calls independently, as well as hearing individuals who may also use the app for accessible communication.
