At first glance, conversations like those we share the writing on social networks or SMS, but the real innovation comes from the real-time transcription of what everyone says, even in the presence of several people.
The founders of the start-up Transcense, one American, one French, one Dutch and one Taiwanese, and all deaf students in the United States, expressed in a video presentation the difficulties of living disability in everyday life, emphasizing that only a conversation English four can be played on the lips. The microphone system was programmed with algorithms that can identify each party based on the frequency of his voice and uses a color code to easily follow the discussion in writing.
This application will be released in December (in English) and may already be précommandée priced $ 25 (about 20 euros). The team is currently raising funds on a crowdfunding site (Indiegogo) and has nearly reached its target.
There are a few weeks, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology announced that they had developed a similar application for users of Google Glass to text transcription function, but for a single source. The conversation is transcribed by applying Captioning on Glass so that the wearer of the glasses could follow written on his smartphone.
