Speech to text app
Published: November 2021
Problem
Mask wearing and plexiglass screens can make communication challenging, especially for people with hearing loss. Mask wearing and physical distancing in a COVID-19 world can make communication challenging, particularly for people with hearing loss who have difficulty understanding speech.
Solution
NAL has tackled this problem by developing the NALscribe iPad app that hearing clinics can use to make communication easier for clients who often struggle to hear. The app has been made free for hearing healthcare clinics around the world to download and use.
— R.W, NALscribe user“My father-in-law is profoundly deaf now for many years and we have been searching for any way we can use technology to assist us in communicating, especially with family get togethers… even around his home. It has been a largely frustrating journey of trying all sorts of things… We just came across your app yesterday and just want to say a huge Thank You… it will transform his life and give us all more interaction and access to our father and grandfather”
