MISSION
The overall mission of the project is to make schools accessible for students with disabilities and to improve the quality
of education for them. The project shall have at best a global impact.
T
HE SOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
Students with disabilities often find it difficult to access mainstream education settings with lower attainment than their
non-disabled peers. So the project wants to deliver an inclusive educational environment for all persons, whether they
have a disability or not, but benefiting especially those with disabilities like deafness, autism or learning difficulties and
also aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning. This shall happen trough the usage of real-time captioning
and transcription, via the latest speech-to-text technology. The visible classroom digitises classroom discussions in real-
time, allowing it for analytics and insights to drive performance improvements for teachers and learners. It therefore
delivers fast and accurate speech-to-text and related analytics in a range of environments, providing an exclusive
experience.
