Lately computer technology has been developing quite rapidly and it made our lives easier. From simplifying work to allowing us do something that couldn't been done before. But what about people with disabilities such as impaired hearing or vision or some physical limitations? They have a hard time using this technology due to their limitations. However, special technology is being developed that can not only help those people have the same accessibility as everyone else but improve their everyday life.
Live Transcribe
One such example is Google's Live Transcribe that is designed to help people who are deaf or with hearing loss. Live Transcribe is an Android app that uses speech recognition and sound detection to caption conversations in up to 70 languages and sounds around you on your screen. It is also able to send notifications when it captures specific sounds such as fire alarm, sirens, baby noise or knocking on the door. I think this app is a great help for people with hearing problems. Not everyone knows sign language and deaf people can also get situational awareness from the sounds around them they wouldn't normally get without the app.
