by Ava
Ava is a San Francisco-based accessibility service dedicated to giving deaf and hard-of-hearing people seamless access to every conversation. The app is ADA-compliant and trusted by individuals, employers, and educational institutions worldwide.
Ava delivers real-time captions using AI speech-to-text technology, with a premium Scribe option that pairs users with human stenographers for near-perfect accuracy. A color-coded speaker display shows who is talking, the app integrates with major video conferencing platforms, and more than 50 languages are supported. The free plan provides 40 minutes of captioning per week; paid plans remove that limit.
Ava is designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing adults and young adults who need accessible communication at work, in classrooms, and in social settings — particularly useful for meetings, job interviews, and medical appointments.

Google Live Transcribe is a free Android app that converts speech and surrounding sounds into real-time on-screen captions, making everyday conversations more accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. Developed in partnership with Gallaudet University, it supports more than 120 languages and processes all audio on-device for privacy.
TAMI is a wearable assistive device designed for blind and vision-impaired users that integrates obstacle detection technology into a modern glasses frame. It uses haptic vibrations to alert wearers to upper-body-level obstacles that a white cane cannot detect. The device aims to increase independent mobility and confidence during travel.
