Description

DH Chat is a system for face-to-facecommunication between deaf and hearing people without a signinterpreter.

If you are a hearing person, you can communicate with your deafrelatives, friends, clients, employees and so on.
If you are a deaf person, you can make a face-to-face conversationwith hearing people without sign interpreter. You can use thesystem everywhere: at home, at your work, at restaurants, duringyour education and so on.


The system consists of two android devices (phones or tablets),linked via Bluetooth.
Install the “Deaf-Hearing Chat Device-D” application on the firstdevice (which will be used by a deaf person).
Install the “Deaf-Hearing Chat Device-H” application on the seconddevice (which will be used by a hearing person).
Run the applications on both devices and link the devices viaBluetooth.
A hearing person speaks into the phone, the application transformsthe speech into a text message and sends it to the Device-D (usedby a deaf person). You can also exchange text messages between thedevices.
The system is very convenient for regular communication in familieswith a deaf family member. Each message is followed by vibration,so you can always call a deaf person, address him / her.
The system may also be used by a deaf person to communicate withhearing people in a shop, a hospital, a bank, etc. In this case, adeaf person should have both devices with him / her and pass adevice with a pre-installed “Device-H” application to a hearingperson to start communication at any time.

The application for the device-D, called Deaf-Hearing Chat DeviceD, enables a deaf person to type text messages on a virtualkeyboard and to send them to the device-H (the button “Send”). Eachsent message can be duplicated by the synthetic speech (the button“Speak and Send”). For the synthetic speech a speech synthesismodule should be installed on the device (usually it’s installed;if it’s not it can be downloaded from Google Play, e.g. SVOXclassic TTS or Pico TTS). The messages, received from the device-H,are shown on the display.
