Resume


We are using real time closed caption to support people with disability hearing

What is about it?

This project is a real time closed caption made to disability hearing people, but people without disability can use it to take notes.

We started this project with a reasearch of two deaf friends on ThoughtWorks

They found the project speak-extension by Charlie Gerard and we tried to implement something closer and more customized.

Now we have a name: "What They Say" and people helping =)

What is our goal?

We would like this extension help people with disability hearing to watch talks, movies and whatever, in whole world, therefore we will be so happy =D
