Mitsubishi Electric Corporation

Assistive System & Technology Inclusion Communication

SwipeTalk is an app that takes the user’s spoken words and transcribes them in free form onto the screen in accordance with any shape the user traces their finger. The goal is to enable smooth communication with and between people who are hard of hearing or speak different languages. The combination of free form voice to text with drawing tools and camera features enables a more fun and creative way of communicating compared to text-only.
