Imagine having a comfortable telephone conversation with a deaf or hard-of-hearing person. A new AI-powered app produced by an American-Israeli startup has made that possible for countless people.

True to its name, Nagish—Hebrew for “accessible”—has removed the communication barriers plaguing members of the deaf community by converting text-to-speech and speech-to-text in real time.

As its website explains, the AI-based app is “fast, private and accurate.” No third party is necessary.
