AI for Accessibility: Smart Glasses Help Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals

Researchers at Boston University have developed TranscribeGlass, a pair of smart glasses that provide real-time subtitles for conversations. This innovative technology aims to assist individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing by making communication more accessible. The glasses translate spoken words into text, displayed directly on the lenses, enabling seamless participation in conversations. This technology has the potential to significantly improve communication and inclusivity for individuals with hearing impairments.
