iOS app that help the hearing-impaired to consume content / live event where closed captions are unavailable.
- The unavailability of Closed Captions
- Hard to multitask between lip reading and note taking
- Lip reading is not applicable in some situation
- The hearing-impaired can receive nearly equal information
We will develop a native iOS App that solves the difficulties of the hearing-impaired on receiving and staying focused on the media / content by transcribing the verbally driven content to text in real-time by providing speech-to-text ability and saving the transcription to an exportable file. This is a solution to the challenge because our research shows that the hearing-impaired has a hassle in lip-reading and taking notes in the same time, especially when the speaker talks to fast, using masks, or not in sync with the visual (laggy video on teleconference).
