by Ava
Ava (formerly Transcense) is an accessibility company founded at UC Berkeley with the mission of making the world accessible to Deaf and hard-of-hearing people. The app powers live captioning across everyday environments, from coffee shop chats to corporate boardrooms.
Ava's smartphone app uses AI speech-to-text to produce instant captions of live spoken conversations, assigning each speaker a distinct color. The Ava Scribe tier pairs AI with a human captioner for up to 99% accuracy. Ava Connect integrates with major video conferencing platforms so users can read captions directly inside Zoom or Google Meet.
Ava is designed for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who communicate verbally and need access to spoken language in real time. Students, professionals, and anyone navigating group conversations or workplace meetings will benefit from the speaker-identification and multi-language support.
