Live speech, on your braille display.
Dotify Live turns conversation into braille as it happens, one cell at a time, at a pace you set. It runs on the phone in your pocket and the computer on your desk.
Decorative animation: braille cells spelling “live speech, one cell at a time”, streaming across the line the way Dotify Live streams words across a braille display.
How it works
From spoken word to braille cell in about a second
-
Listen
Dotify Live picks up speech through your phone or an external microphone. It works in a conversation, a classroom, or a meeting.
-
Transcribe
Speech becomes accurate text in about a second, using best-in-class speech recognition.
-
Read
Words stream across your refreshable braille display one cell at a time. You control the pace, pause when you need to, and catch up when you are ready.
Made for readers
Reading speech should feel like reading
Read at your own pace
Set the streaming speed, pause whenever you like, and pan back through what was said. The conversation waits for you.
Kind to your hands
Reading a live conversation usually means pressing a pan key every few words, thousands of times a day, and that strain builds into repetitive stress injury for many braille readers. Dotify streams the text under your fingers like ticker tape. Your reading hand stays still, and the words come to you.
Works with your display
Connects to refreshable braille displays, from a single line to multi-line devices.
Phone or desktop
Dotify Live runs on Android for reading on the go, and on Windows for the desk. One reading experience on both.
Built with braille readers
Designed, tested, and refined hand in hand with deafblind braille readers. The details of pacing and panning only show up in real use, so real use is where we build.
Early access
Dotify Live is in early testing
The Android and Windows apps are being tested with a small group of braille readers right now. If you read braille, or you support someone who does, get in touch and we will set you up with Dotify Live.
