ACCELEVOICE is a speech support app being developed for individuals with hearing impairments to facilitate communication through speech. For example, people with hearing disabilities have different speech characteristics depending on when and to what extent they lost their hearing, and they often face situations where their speech is not understood by those they are not accustomed to communicating with. To solve these challenges, the app utilizes AI to learn the individual's speech characteristics and customize the app to convert speech into text in real-time.
About the App Name "ACCELEVOICE" ACCELEVOICE is a coined word combining "Accelerator" and "Voice." The word "accelerate" evokes images of actively moving forward, such as "speed" and "strength," and it embodies the desire to "accelerate communication through the app." Brother also views individuals with hearing impairments as active participants in society, just like hearing individuals, and this stance is also part of the message conveyed by the name. The logo mark is designed with an arrow and a speech bubble as motifs, expressing bidirectional communication and the acceleration of communication.

No Need to Switch Speakers In the previous trial version of the app, it was necessary to press buttons separately to switch between the speech of individuals with hearing impairments and that of hearing individuals. The new version, for which trial applications are now being accepted, includes a mode that transcribes speech into text without the need for operating a switch button. This is expected to lead to smoother communication.
