Problem
Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have auditory processing difficulties often struggle to follow conversations and media in real-time, impacting their social interactions and access to information. Traditional methods of captioning can be cumbersome, distracting, or unavailable in many everyday situations.
Solution
TranscribeGlass offers a wearable assistive technology solution that displays real-time closed captions directly on a transparent lens, allowing users to seamlessly follow conversations and media without the need for separate screens or devices. The glasses capture audio from any source and transcribe it into text, which is then projected onto the lens in the user's field of vision. This hands-free, unobtrusive approach enables users to maintain eye contact and engage more naturally in social and professional settings. The technology aims to improve comprehension, reduce communication barriers, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with hearing challenges.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, elderly individuals with hearing loss, and anyone who benefits from real-time visual aids for spoken communication.
