‘Chat gadget’ to help deaf people with speak-to-text conversation device

Jari Hazelebach created his SpeakSee system of colour-coded microphones to look like sleek iPhone accessories, which clip onto clothing and transcribe words via wifi into text on a tablet or smartphone screen via an app.

The first hard-of-hearing Londoner to try the £300 device said it could help make business meetings and conversations “more equal and less stressful and isolating” instead of relying on lip-reading and hearing aids.

Ms Hathway, from Hackney, said: “I really like SpeakSee so far, particularly the colour-coded microphones, which have the potential to help me know who’s speaking.”
