TranscribeGlass are smart eyeglasses that aim to do exactly what it says on the tin.

They're meant for the Deaf and, primarily, the hard-of-hearing community.

Most of the main computing features are relegated to a companion app (iOS only for now) There are no cameras, microphones, or speakers in the frames, just a small waveguide projector.

TranscribeGlass glasses can't play music or use AI to answer questions, they only really need to do one thing well to get people to wear them: help them understand what is being said around them.

Other features are in the works, with the goal of enhancing what you can glean from subtext.
