Transcense
Technology is more than integrated into the communication of people. And it is not only a tool to solve distance communications, but it also provides solutions for those who have problems in this area This is the case of Transcense, a mobile application developed by and for deaf people with a clear objective: to integrate people with hearing impairments in group conversations. One of the most difficult challenges that these people must face.
Transcense is the result of research by a developer born into a family of deaf people. Thus, he has always seen and known the communication problems that this issue entails, trying to find an effective solution through technology. And it seems that he has found her. An application capable of collecting and recognizing complex conversations, made up of the voices of several people, to transcribe themand display them clearly on the hearing impaired person's screen.
The idea is that the members of the gathering use their mobile with Transcense to collect everything they say. So, this application orders and clearly shows the interventions transcribed on the terminal screen of the different users and, especially, on that of the deaf person.With this, this user can attend to different interlocutors almost simultaneously, focusing on lip reading or listening to what he can of the conversation. Always keeping in mind that you have a literal transcription of the active conversation on your mobile screen. All this reflected with different colors to know who said what In a simple way and without being a drag for other people.
Trascense has other useful tools for deaf people through the application. Thus, it is possible to get the attention of the audience to let them know that you want to speak, or request that they read aloud some of the transcribed messages Interesting additions to avoid misunderstandings and eliminate communication barriers.
The technology used in Transcense is responsible for collecting dictation from people with voice recognition Very adjusted to reality that avoids meaningless or incorrect sentences.In addition, it allows focusing on the voice of the user who is close to the terminal, sending its recognition to the screen of the person with hearing problems. However, it is still an application under development And, although its operation is effective, it is in beta phase or test for platform Android
That is why its creators have started a campaign on Indiegogo in order to raise money and complete your project. A crowdfounding campaign asking Internet users for donations toward his goal of $25,000 An amount they want to invest in bringing Transcense to the end of the road and expanding platforms, focusing on iOS and in a we versionb. In this way, the possibilities of this tool would be multiplied, allowing more people to use their terminals to transcribe everything they say and make group conversations less a drama for deaf people.It is possible to collaborate and learn more about this project through its web page
