Talk-now is a pioneering wearable communication device that allows those with hearing and speech disabilities to easily communicate with others in the outside world. As the majority of the population has no knowledge of sign language, integration into mainstream society becomes difficult for the disabled.

With Talk-now, sign language generated by the motions of the arms and hands can be detected and translated into voice. It saves at least 50% communication time between the users. “Allow to share” is the vision of Talk-now, which hopes to enable users to connect with anyone, anywhere and at anytime. The project also received the first prize (Innovative Applications Groups) in the 2014 Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Competition. Talk-now is also supported by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation’s incubation programme.
