Sight and Sound Technology Podcast Stuart Lawler

Welcome into another episode of the Sight and Sound Technology podcast.
Today's episode is all about an exciting new addition to our portfolio called SpeakSee.
Speaksee is the first microphone system able to accurately transcribe group conversations. In addition, Speaksee shows what's being said in different colors for each person, In less than a second. Each speaker can have their own name corresponding with the microphone they are wearing. In this way a Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing person can distinguish who says what.
This new and very exciting technology aims to make conversations accessible for all.
Joining Stuart on the show is Adam Lee, Business Development Manager with SpeakSee in the UK to tell us more.
