Abstract / Introduction

Deaf people face many problems in a world so connected with sounds. Although they do not see themselves as impaired but rather as a cultural and linguistic minority, they have difficulties to connect with the hearing majority.

Speak & Listen App for Deaf is an Android based mobile phone application which aims to bridge the gap between Deaf and Hearing cultures by allowing them to communicate with each other in a simple and convenient way.

This application consists of a chat (written text) option which converts written text into audio so that it can be listened from normal people (hearing people); deaf people can write and normal people can listen. On the other hand, it also converts audio to text that deaf people can read and understand easily what normal people want to say; normal people can say and deaf people can read.
