Participation, Awareness, and Confidence in Every Moment
Communication happens everywhere; at home, at work, in public, and during life’s essential moments.
UnMute is designed to support real-life communication scenarios for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people, helping them participate fully, confidently, and without unnecessary stress.
It’s not about features. It’s about people feeling included, informed, and respected in the world around them.
Empowering Inclusion in Work, Home, and Public Spaces
UnMute is actively being developed and scheduled to launch in 2026. If you're here early, that matters.
Choose the path that fits you:
Workplace Communication
Meetings, presentations, and casual conversations in the workplace can be challenging for Deaf employees.
UnMute provides subtle, supportive tools for Deaf accessibility in the workplace, helping users engage confidently while maintaining professional flow and independence.
Communication becomes shared, not burdensome.
Healthcare and Medical Settings
Doctor’s appointments, hospital visits, and urgent care situations often involve fast-moving information.
UnMute supports healthcare communication for Deaf individuals, helping them stay informed, ask questions, and fully understand critical conversations; while reducing reliance on translation labor.
Family, Friends, and Social Gatherings
Life outside work, family meals, social gatherings, travel, and events can also pose communication challenges.
With UnMute, inclusive communication in public spaces and personal interactions becomes smoother, letting users connect naturally, without missing meaningful moments.
Environmental Awareness in Daily Life
Safety and awareness are part of everyday communication.
UnMute provides environmental alerts for Deaf users, highlighting important sounds, announcements, or cues in public and private spaces.
Situational awareness helps users move through the world with confidence and peace of mind.
Step In, Speak Up, Be Fully Included
From morning routines to commuting, shopping, and casual conversations, UnMute offers everyday communication support for hearing loss.
The goal is simple: make participation natural, reduce the invisible labor of communication, and restore dignity in all interactions.
