Wearable captioning system
|
| |
Georgia, USA (Newswise): For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, the voices of actors, teachers, sports announcers and clergy are often silenced. With captioning typically available only in selected movie theaters, a lack of access to information often limits community involvement for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. But a wearable captioning system developed at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) and recently licensed by the Georgia Tech Research Corporation’s Office of Technology Licensing to a metro Atlanta company may change that situation for the 28 million Americans (about 10 percent of the population) who are deaf or hard of hearing.
