Hi,

We just released two apps to help deaf people around the world.
Please help us to spread the word to help the society

1. Hearing Aide:
Hearing Aide is designed to simplify the lives of the hearing-impaired by alerting them about the key everyday sounds around them. The app recognises these sounds in both indoor and outdoor environment and alerts the users through push notifications coupled with vibratory alerts in just few seconds.

Hearing Aide comes preloaded with alerts for key sounds like sirens, alarms, rings, bells and beeps. It also gives users the option to create their own alerts. They can record the sounds that they want the app to identify and alert them about.

The app has the potential to make the lives of hearing-impaired people easier and safer, without asking them to make any changes in their world.


2. Say It With Signs:
Say It With Signs makes a phone call conversation possible between a deaf person and a hearing person — by combining voice-to-sign and text-to-voice technology.
The hearing person’s voice is interpreted as sign language that appears on the deaf person’s screen, while the latter’s typed replies are read out to the hearing person.

Thanks,
Sandeep Bhardwaj

the first one sounds kind of interesting. I wonder how well it would work if the phone is in a pocket, backpack or purse or similar.

The second one sounds a lot like the Video Relay services like Sorenson, Purple and ZVRS- these three have mobile versions that do the same thing. Is this app one where the "middle man" is removed? How in the world is a program going to interpret voice to sign? (it would be straight English and not ASL that's for sure...).
 
Second one sounds too good to be true (remember, they needed a specially modified Kinect for that demonstration in China) but then, there's no website given, no company name, only a phone number in Singapore.

Oh, and they're not on the App Store.
