Olivier Jeannel's new app aims to help the profoundly deaf and hard of hearing reach out and touch everyone.
For most of us, cell phones are indispensable. But for the 70 million people with profound or severe hearing loss, it represents a crucial missed point of contact. The RogerVoice app aims to change that. The soon to be released app—which blew past its $20,000 goal on Kickstarter in just one week to ultimately collect $35,000—uses VoIP and automatic speech recognition to provide subtitles for conversations in real time, making it easy for users to communicate with anyone who calls, all with no app download required on the other end of the phone and no intermediary required.
