Ava

Hey guys 👋! Thibault here, CEO of Ava. When we started Ava a few years ago, we had the main goal to make group conversations accessible to the Deaf & hard-of-hearing. The early successes (with the help of the PH community) helped us make bold moves towards a fully accessible world. I grew up the only hearing person in a Deaf family, and this is very personal for me, and now many of my teammates. With COVID19, captionless Zooms, Facebook Lives, Tiktok videos popped up everywhere, leaving Deaf/hard-of-hearing people behind. So, instead of waiting for all the platforms to become accessible (and some we still wonder if they will ever be!), let's make them accessible ourselves. Ava Closed Captions a powerful desktop app built on top of the mix of professional & AI transcription we've built over the years, to provide 24/7 accurate & fast captions for all online videos & meetings! We've gotten really awesome feedback so far (including from my own family!) and sincerely hope this will help empower even more the Deaf & hard-of-hearing community. Last time, ProductHunt's visibility helped bring in a day tens of thousands of deaf & hard-of-hearing people and some had their lives changes. That's an awesome way to show that the world of tech can and should be more inclusive! 🤟 It's also free & unlimited, so give it a try (it has been very useful for our own Zoom meeting transcriptions ;) With my team, we'll be hanging around the comments today to answer any questions you might have :) Cheers, Thibault & the Ava Team

What Thibault and his team are building for the deaf community is truly powerful and extremely inspiring. Congrats for this new feature launch 🙌

Ava enabled my family to have conversations with others that did not speak their native language! Really powerful use of AI - congrats for the new launch!
