ListenAll is a free application which can recognize people’s voices and transcribe it to text. It is especially designed to facilitate the integration of several groups such as people with hearing issues or physical deficiencies. The app is available for mobile devices with Android and iOS systems.
ListenAll allows users with hearing impairments to follow a conversation, class or conference in real time on their mobile phone or tablet.
Created and developed by the Universit of Alicante in collaboration with Fundación Vodafone España, ListenAll enables a user with a hearing disability to follow a conversation, class or conference in real time on their mobile phone or tablet, as well as improving the writing speed for people who have trouble writing on devices with touch screens or physical keyboards. Among other innovations this app structures the text it picks up and enables the adjustment of the background colour and font size to improve its readability, as well as its storing, editing and subsequent sending, for example, via email or WhatsApp.
All the technology developed for ListenAll is integrated in version 3.0 of Ability Connect, a free communication application for the integration of students with disabilities. Ability Connect makes it possible for several devices to communicate with one another via Bluetooth, without requiring an internet connection, although it can also be used with wifi or mobile data. This app has advanced content visualisation features which are adapted to people with hearing issues, impaired vision or dyslexia.
