Problem
Increased geographic mobility means people increasingly interact with others who experience and understand the world differently, while primary communication mediums have shifted to written formats such as texting, emails, and the Internet that strip communication down to words and emoticons. Since individuals interpret words differently, this creates a world full of misunderstandings where people talk past each other and fail to connect.
Solution
Lexicon Labs develops technology to help people be understood in modern communication environments. The company was formed specifically in response to changes in the communication landscape, addressing the disconnect that arises when written mediums remove the contextual cues of in-person interaction. Their approach leverages technology to bridge the gap between differing interpretations of words and bridge cultural and experiential divides. By focusing on how people interpret language differently, the company aims to reduce misunderstandings and foster more meaningful human connection across digital channels.
Target Audience
Individuals and organizations who communicate primarily through written digital mediums and face misunderstandings due to differing interpretations of language, including those in cross-cultural or geographically dispersed relationships and teams.
