Subtle Subtitles : Fashionable technology helps Dysarthric Speech

Interaction Design Project by Calum Pringle: Subtle Subtitles clarifies conversation with people with dysarthric speech by presenting subtitles in our peripheral vision in an intuitively crafted wearable. Those familiar with the impediment understand the slurred speech however, as with other variances in expression, strangers struggle to tune in to the conversation. Current solutions for this communication difficulty use synthesised speech to replace the persons own; Subtle Subtitles ensures that the wearers own speech and eye contact continue to be of greatest importance, preserving the intimacy of the exchange whilst quietly providing a subtle hint of the context of the conversation.

I really like that. I'm studying to become a speech therapist and stumbled upon this video.
