Hey guys πŸ‘‹! 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 πŸ™Œ

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!
Thanks for sharing, that's so awesome. We have quite a lot of people who use our realtime translation feature for many different situations.
This is very important!!! We need accessibility solutions for the COVID era. Check this out.
Thank you!
What a remarkable and impactful product! You and your team should be proud. Thank you for creating this. I may even have to use it as a translator when we can travel again.

Such a needed and great product - congrats Ava team
Thanks Kevin.
Thanks man!
Great great product, congratulations :-)
Wonderful use of AI - Great product & very useful. I Wish them all the best of luck!
Thanks πŸ™πŸ’™
Many deaf and hard of hearing people feel like they'll never be a part of the conversation. This product is making huge strides in removing the communication barrier. In this day and age, helping people access online meetings and transcribe in-person interactions (especially with everyone wearing masks) are important steps.
This is awesome! So needed
