Making digital media accessible with a tap.

Fine-tuning sounds around you.

Sound, sight, and so much more.

Everyone uses their device differently. So we look at cutting-edge technology and ask, “How can this solve a challenge for a real person?” From tools that help people know more about what's around them. To products that create easier conversations by instantly turning speech into text. It’s more than learning what real people need. It’s about building solutions that help.

Audio features so you never miss a beat.

Live Transcribe

Get real-time captions right as you’re having a conversation. Live Transcribe can catch tricky nuances like the difference between “new Yorkshire Terriers” and “New York Terrace.” So when someone’s talking, you can stay in the moment.
