Subtle Subtitles Film

Interaction Design degree project: Documentary demonstrating context of a working prototype of an iphone app that subtitles people who are losing the ability to speak clearly. (In particular ‘ataxic dysphonia’). The iphone is held in an interchangeable scarf, and through a system of filtration that I have developed, and existing speech recognition technologies, only the vital words in a conversation are subtitled; thus merely adding to the common sense we all use when understanding another person.

This uploading lark is stressful and has taken the whole day to get it right.
