Our vision for Bamberg

People with hearing impairments or language barriers understand spoken content better – for example when visiting the authorities or the doctor’s surgery – and can therefore participate in everyday life on an equal footing.

Technology

No technical solution is being developed.

Project description

The original plan was to develop an application that converts the spoken word into text. The application would have been data protection compliant and secure, even with sensitive content. However, as similar technology already exists, the project cannot be implemented in this way for funding reasons. Instead, it is now intended as a networking project: through training courses on existing digital solutions, joint development of ideas with those affected and events.

Why is the project not being implemented as planned?

  • The funding body rejected it during the strategy review.
  • The main reason was that similar applications already exist.
  • That’s why we can’t develop an additional app for it or spend any money on it.
