I was reading a tech magazine the other day, and read about how research scientists are working on personal captioning for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, one being glasses with captioning. A user would be able to read text right off a 30-gram mini monitor that clips on to her glasses. The text will reflect from the glasses and appear to float.

Isn't that cool? Imagine walking around wearing one of those captioning glasses, and whenever someone speaks to you text will appear right in front of you. You're living independently without an interpreter present...

:fingersx:
 
that would be so fawking neat! but what about accents and words that does sound the same? BUT whoa... neat-o!

I hope it has a receiver that is able to receive so I can uddy people 50 feet from me. :naughty:
 
It would be neat to have that, but the speech-to-text tecognization that is a big ???? considering the accents of different speakers.

Texas drawls, fast New England speakers, molasses-thick accents.....it would be a devil IMO to get the glasses to correctly translate them to text. Another is foreign languages but it could be remedied with better software.

If some genius can come up with a chip that can do these in one fell swoop, we might :bowdown: to him/her!
 
Hmm... very interesting! This would be really nice! Wouldn't they have a problem with voice recognition?
 
Nice idea, but wouldn't that be a little.. awkward, like it'll be more obvious and larger form of hearing aids or CIs??

It probably would look like a microscope slide. I dunno.
 
it's intresting and i support that but ofc we still will need the use of the interpters anyhow, for many various reasons. maybe t he courts will say NO maybe other poeple will feel at bulkiness at the no part as well. it's basically on the feel of the person's opioion.
 
I dont want to wear glasses lol............... sometimes its good I cant undy people, I can just shake my head yeah uh-uh, cuz some people especially teachers are BORING.......... I have even had boring dates....... I have even turned off my hearing aids so I dont fall asleep

What tech magazine did you read about it?
 
sounds kewl but ahh also sounds so geeky if u were walking around with that gadget connected to glasses LOL
 
VERY cool!!!! I remember when I was in elementary school, wishing that there were glasses like those!
 
what about some kind of high technical contact lens that will show captions when you're walking around in everyday life? Very high unlikely though! :P

If that could be done, it would perhaps possible with nanotechnology. But science has a long way to go toward that goal.
 
That is awesome...Very interesting. That would shocked the hearing people knowing that u know what they said behead your back. heh

:rofl: I'm sure they wud go uh who are u? if they don't recongize it's you with new glasses on :P
 
I hope there's no real delay in the captioning. If there was, it would be almost like the relay service. The person's talking, then when he/she stops talking... the caption is still captioning the rest so he/she would be standing there like, "Eh? Not talking... something wrong?" I'll then jump in and reply. The timing might be awkward, heh!
 
Nah, just keep a smiling face or a pensive face and you will look like you are thinking, hmmmmm! while the caption is finishing then oh ahhhh ok bla bla bla. :lol:
