AVA
24/7 accessible conversations with deaf and hard-of-hearing people
Around 5% of the world population suffers from disabling hearing loss. Group conversations are especially hard to follow. Ava is here to help just that. Ava is the first mobile app that makes group conversations between deaf & hard-of-hearing people and their hearing peers, finally possible and effortless. Ava connects to other devices in the room and leverages their microphones to listen to and interpret the conversation, right on your screen. Ava shows you who says what around you, in real-time, so you can answer in time, and be part of the discussion.
