About
Speaksee is a patented AI communication device designed to make live group conversations fully accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. The Speaksee Microphone Kit uses advanced AI and beamforming microphone technology to deliver real-time speech-to-text captioning with exceptional accuracy — even in noisy environments. Each participant in a conversation wears a compact microphone, which is linked to their name. The system then displays each speaker's words in a distinct color on the user's device in under a second, making it immediately clear who is saying what. Beamforming sensor arrays intelligently isolate each speaker's voice while rejecting background noise from other sources, ensuring high transcription accuracy in challenging real-world settings such as busy offices, restaurants, or classrooms. Speaksee also supports real-time translation, extending its accessibility to multilingual environments. The system is compatible with a web application, allowing users to follow captions on their smartphone or tablet without additional hardware. Use cases span professional meetings, corporate HR accessibility programs, educational institutions, and everyday social interactions. By combining portable hardware with cloud-based AI transcription, Speaksee empowers deaf and hard-of-hearing users to participate fully and equally in any conversation. It is suitable for individuals, employers, schools, and organizations committed to inclusive communication.
