Brother Industries, Ltd. has decided on the name 'ACCELEVOICE' for its speech support app currently under development. In addition to upgrading the specifications of the app that had been in trial operation until now, the company has launched a dedicated website for ACCELEVOICE and begins accepting trial applications today.
ACCELEVOICE is a speech support app developed targeting individuals such as the hearing impaired who communicate via speech. For instance, people with hearing impairments have various speech characteristics depending on when and to what extent they lost their hearing, and there are many situations where their speech cannot be understood in communication with people who are not accustomed to it. To solve such issues, the app uses AI to learn the characteristics of individual speech and customizes the app to transcribe speech into text in real time.
## About the App Name "ACCELEVOICE"
ACCELEVOICE is a coined word combining "Accelerator" and "Voice." The word "Accel" evokes proactive forward movement, such as "speed" and "strength," and embodies the desire to "accelerate communication through the app." Furthermore, Brother views hearing-impaired individuals as active members of society just like hearing individuals, and this stance is one of the messages conveyed in the name.
The logo motif combines an arrow and a speech bubble, expressing two-way communication and the acceleration of communication.

### Eliminating the Need to Switch Speakers
The app that had been in trial operation until now required the user to press a button to switch between the speech of the hearing-impaired person and the speech of the hearing person. The new version, for which trial applications are now open, features a mode capable of transcribing each person's speech into text without the operation of a switching button. This is expected to facilitate smoother communication.
