Great to see other solutions in the accessibility space getting funded. Congrats, Thibault!

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

Incredible progress @t_duchemin and team... very impressed! Like Thibault, i grew up with deaf parents as well and saw their massive pain point of being in a social environnement. It's a daily issue that they're facing, and AVA its the most advanced product that can give them a true freedom and access to what sounds completely normal for all of u: being part of the discussion.

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

Whoa. Instant captions for Zoom calls?? Stuff like this makes it so obvious how developing for accessibility makes products better for everyone. Nice work y'all.

Huge congrats to the entire Ava team! This is so needed

The mission of Ava is so inspiring and I think take a very humane approach to technology. I can't wait to see how many more lives this app will change as it scales up..

Looks nice, best of luck! 💯

This is very important!!! We need accessibility solutions for the COVID era. Check this out.

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.

Great great product, congratulations :-)

Such a needed and great product - congrats Ava team
