Imagine being able to understand conversations in real-time, even in noisy environments, if you are hard of hearing or deaf. XRAI Glass, an innovative device from UK-based XRAI Glass, makes this possible.
This innovative Augmented Reality (AR) device is integrated with microphones that receive words spoken and artificial intelligence (AI)-structured speech recognition to convert them into text.
Real-time captioning
It's streamed straight to the lenses, where the text appears in real-time, users can read and therefore understand conversations. Real-time captioning is the major power-up of XRAI Glass, thus becoming an extremely useful tool for people who struggle to hear in different environments.

XRAI Glass is to sell at approximately £1,800, plus a £30 per month subscription to be maintained with captioning services and continuous software updates. Such an investment would go a long way to enhance the quality of life and the communication ability of hard-of-hearing or deaf people.
This is a user-friendly device with a simple and easy-to-use interface. Personalisation of font sizes and colours enables users to keep them in the format that best suits their readability.
Moreover, with real-time captioning and advanced speech recognition, XRAI Glass may be a difference maker in communication for the hard-of-hearing and the deaf in several environments, noisy ones included.
