Anyone know if deaf people can use these kind of devices for living room conversation transcription?
It's an interesting idea but the tech is probably not really there yet. It's one thing to have one person say something simple in a "command voice." It's another to transcribe, in real-time, overlapping conversations in a space. I wonder if people wore mics though.
