Interact-AS Speech to Text, Text to Speech Translation Software

Speech technology for the vision impaired community continues to evolve….

Interact-AS(TM) is speech recognition software for your PC laptop, netbook or tablet that can allow deaf and hard of hearing individuals to directly communicate with people who do not know sign language. The person who is hard of hearing can read a transcript of what’s being said, while someone with difficulty writing or typing can dictate memos or generate text for documents and emails.

The Interact-AS Consumer Edition is a scaled down version of Interact-AS ideal for communicating with a few people. It features:

• Microsoft’s speech recognition and voice synthesis engines
• Support for speech, typing and handwriting input
• Instant closed captioning of conversations that can be saved
• Complete suite of Visualize Tools including built-in sketch pad
• Auto translate feature

Interact-AS(TM) can remove multiple communication barriers. Compare Interact-AS versions.

• Individuals who are deaf can directly communicate with people who do not know sign language
• A person who is hard of hearing can instantly see a closed-caption transcript of what’s being said in conversations, a conference room discussion, a radio broadcast, or a video program
• People who have difficulty writing or typing but have verbal skills can use their voice to dictate memos, answer test questions, or generate text for documents and emails
• Interact-AS gives a voice back to individuals who have lost the ability to speak by voicing aloud whatever a person types or writes

Features:

• Supports written, typed and spoken input
• Spoken words are instantly transcribed and displayed
• Transcript includes an optional synchronized audio recording
• Written or typed words are instantly spoken aloud so a non-verbal person can participate in classroom discussions
• Use the Visualize feature to sketch ideas or make notes on pictures

Load Interact-AS onto your PC laptop, netbook or tablet and you are ready to go. Interact-AS makes it simple to communicate—whatever you type or write is spoken out loud. Plus, using an external or built-in computer microphone, speech can be translated into text that is displayed on your screen, so you no longer need to rely on pen and paper. Take Interact-AS wherever you go: to work or school, stores, restaurants and more for easier communication anywhere, anytime, with anyone.
