Lipreading AAC app for those with a voice impairment
SRAVI (Speech Recognition for the Voice Impaired) produces speech by reading your lips, for those who have no voice but can still move their lips normally when trying to talk. Currently, SRAVI is capable of recognising around 40 predefined phrases that have been deemed useful for patients who are critically unwell in hospital.
Examples of these phrases are:
• “I need the bathroom”
• “I’m uncomfortable”
• “I’m thirsty”
For more information, clinical evidence and case studies, check out our website at sravi.ai.
People who have lost the use of their voice may include those who’ve had: tracheostomies, trauma, stroke, paralysis or other medical conditions.
Using the camera on your smartphone, the app records a short video of your lip movements and performs automatic lip-reading to verbalise what you said.
The phrase list of 40 words that SRAVI understands is displayed above.
SRAVI can be customised to add additional phrase lists created by the user, and switching between phrase lists is simple.
SRAVI is designed to be used with patients in hospital who are critically unwell and need assistance communicating with their doctors, nurses and other caregivers.
SRAVI is more natural than typing or writing on paper. It allows people who can't vocalise words to find a new voice.
