Speaksee captures the speech in conversations and transcribes it into text on a smartphone or computer - all in real time! This way people with hearing loss can read what's being said. There are several speech-to-text providers on the market but very few are designed specifically for deaf and hard of hearing people, and even fewer still that come from a company with actual experience of hearing loss. The Speaksee team have all either lived with someone close to them who is deaf or are deaf themselves.
Using cutting edge, beamforming technology, Speaksee microphones
are able to isolate the speaker’s voice, filter noise, and extract
the best possible audio quality before converting to text. This
method ensures our customers get the best possible accuracy levels
(consistently at 95%) even in situations with lots of background
noise.
Qualified Communication Support Professionals provide a
valuable service which in some circumstances may be more
appropriate, depending on a person’s individual needs and
preferences. Automatic captioning systems like Speak See offer a
different type of solution.
While automatic captioning systems are continuously evolving,
they may not always identify all uncommon words. A useful feature
of Speak See is that up to 500 words can be added to the dictionary
for each user to ensure that your most commonly used words, such as
proper names, acronymns and technical terms are accurately
recognised. To do this, all you need to do is email them with a
list of the words you would like to add.
Speaksee can identify each microphone individually and shows the
text in different colours on the smart device. This way it is easy
to see which person is speaking both at the time and in the
transcript.
The text is displayed either in an app (iOS or Android) or on
an internet broswer. When used through a browser you can download
and save a copy of the transcript - perfect for note-taking.
Speaksee comes as a subscription service and we supply
different bundles, depending on how many hours you use it. This is
our student/work bundle that includes an unlimited full 36 months
licence and a remote training video call with one of our team to
help you get it set up and understand how to make the best use of
it.
Note: As part of the supply of this bundle, we will need to
share your contact details with Speaksee (only) and you will
receive activation emails direct from Speaksee within 24 hours of
receipt of the microphone kit.

FAQs
How is Speaksee different from other speech-to-text
apps? There are two major differences that sets Speaksee
apart: 1. Speaksee uses microphones that are placed near the
speaker's mouth to capture speech. This means you won't have to ask
everyone in your group to download an app and wait for them to
install it and then explain how it works, instead, just hand out
the microphones and carry on with the conversation! 2. Speaksee
works when there is background noise, like in restaurants. Our
microphones use sophisticated beam forming algorithms that isolate
the speech and leave out background noise. This enhances accuracy
of the transcripts, even in noisy environments.
Do third parties have access to what’s being said in my
meetings?
The audio files and transcripts are processed automatically
and securely using end-to-end encryption. Third parties do not have
access to any of the personal conversations.
Do I always need internet access?
Yes. The Microphone Kit always requires an internet
connection. There are 2 ways to connect the Microphone Kit with the
internet:
Bluetooth: Connection via Bluetooth will allow you
to only connect the Microphone Kit to your smart device and
directly use the internet connection of your smart device. It
radically simplifies the way to connect, making it easy to connect
everywhere you go.
Wi-Fi: Connection via Wi-Fi will connect the
Microphone Kit directly to a Wi-Fi network. When the Microphone Kit
is in Wi-Fi mode, you will have to connect the Microphone Kit to a
new network connection, each time you visit a new location. We
advise you to use the Microphone Kit in Bluetooth connection mode
if you want to use the Microphone Kit in different locations.

The Microphone Kit consumes 40MB per hour, similar to apps
like Spotify allowing you to stream carefree via your mobile
data.

unit. The docking unit requires mains power and needs to be winin
range of an internet connection at all times.
Can I save the transcripts?

browser (not the app version). The transcripts do not save
automatically, for privacy and security.
Can I also use Speaksee to translate?
You can also use Speaksee to have your subtitles directly
translated into another language.
Can I use the Microphone Kit on multiple devices?
The microphone kit can be used on multiple devices eg.
laptop, smartphone, tablet. Please note that the verification code
can only be used once and that you must log in with the same
Speaksee account on all devices.
