by Ava Accessibility
Ava is an accessibility platform founded by deaf and hearing co-founders with the mission of making every conversation accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. The app emerged from UC Berkeley's Big Ideas competition and has since grown into a widely recognised ADA-compliant captioning service.
Ava combines AI speech recognition with optional human captioners (Ava Scribe) to produce colour-coded, speaker-identified captions in real time. It works in person via a shared session on multiple phones as well as inside all major video-conferencing platforms. Users can toggle between AI and scribe accuracy levels depending on the setting.
Ava serves deaf, hard-of-hearing, late-deafened, and deafblind individuals who need real-time access to spoken conversation in personal, professional, or educational settings.
