Abstract

Worldwide, there are many people with hearing impairments. Depending on its severity, hearing impairment can be solved using a more or less performant hearing device, according to one’s needs, but in the case of a total loss of hearing, these devices are rather expensive and not affordable for everyone. With these situations in mind, we developed a simple application, named Talky, which can be used to assist people with hearing disabilities, mostly total hearing loss, in order to facilitate the communication process with others. Talky is simple to use and may be useful for people who have difficulty speaking.
