Description of Website and Service
SeeSoundLive empowers deaf kids and adults with the power of speech. Using SeeSoundLive, a deaf person can get a strong visual feedback of his own speech efforts. One by one, the user is able to develop speech clarity starting with simple sounds and moving to
more complex ones.
SeeSoundLive allows deaf people to use their naturally heightened visual processing skills to get a feedback of their speech efforts. Missing auditory feedback is the main reason why a deaf person cannot speak in spite of having a normal voice box. Visual feedback using
SeeSoundLive is similar to hearing with your eyes and is crucial in developing speech for the Deaf. Starting with simple sounds, deaf people can practice speaking more complex sounds and words over time.
SeeSoundLive has been developed by 4S Medical Research P Ltd. A team of Hearing & Speech experts, Software professionals, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning experts worked hard on the innovative proposal that a deaf person “can see sounds (visual
equivalents) instead of hearing them and use this feedback to develop speech.” Initial trials on children in deaf schools were very encouraging. What you are using now is the current version of See Sound Live, an evolving technology, which is a “must use” for deaf children and adults who want to develop oral speech in addition to sign language.
Using SeeSoundLive, in a matter of days you realise that you can start speaking 1 / 2 / 3 different sounds. How fast you then progress, depends on how much time you spend, trying to learn speaking simple sounds, and then more complex ones. Remember, a new born child takes up to two years to speak two words together. Time is not of essence, interest is.
See Sound Live is delivered as:
- web application on the www.seesoundlive.com
- Application on Microsoft store
- Application on Android Play Store
See Sound Live is still evolving. From our experience so far, we feel confident that the product is safe and interesting to a child. Initial results with using See Sound Live in 10 year olds has been very encouraging.
However, since this technology is still evolving, we urge you to satisfy yourself completely about its value for yourself. 4S Medical Research P Ltd takes no responsibility for any issues surrounding See Sound Live such as usefulness, safety, etc.
