Abstract

This project consists on creating an app that helps people with partial or total loss of hearing and deaf people. It is ideally designed to be used in academic environments and classrooms where students with these conditions can carry out their everyday activities with normalcy. Hence, the application enables teacher and student to join a chat room so that the teacher can give a class while the student sees his words reflected in the text of the chat room in the chosen language. The application has an additional function that consists on turning text into speech to communicate easily with others (not only in the academic environment). Users are allowed to record audio with the microphone to convert text so it can be read by a deaf person especially during short conversations. This is planned through cognition services offered by Google AI with cloud data processing algorithms where developers have access to high-level services that boost the creation of solutions that require Artificial Intelligence (AI). The eagerness of this project is reflected in the fact that 100% of the people interviewed to assess the app agree that it can be useful tool for society. Therefore, they conclude that there is an 80% probability that they will download the app in a nearby future.
