Pedius
Pedius is a communication system that allows hearing impaired people to make normal phone calls.
Pedius is a communication system that allows hearing impaired people to make normal phone calls using speech recognition and synthesis technologies. Type or speak your message into your phone and Pedius will send it to the contact you choose, using either your own voice or an automated voice through speech synthesis. In real time you will be able to read the written translation of your contact’s answer, thanks to Pedius’ voice recognition software. Pedius gives you the freedom to have real-time conversations when you need to call a plumber, book a table at your favourite restaurant, or talk to your doctor. All of this is done with full respect for your privacy because you’re the only one who sees the communication between you and those you speak with.
