Accessible communication
Technology is there to let people communicate.Not the other way round.
We make communication accessible to everyone and simple to use, without asking anyone to learn a new device, so that each person stays part of what happens around them: for people living with a hearing, speech or sight disability, and for older people.
What it has to be
Three conditions, not three options.
Conversations break down every day for a technical reason: a pane of glass at the counter, the noise of a room, a noticeboard nobody updates. It is not for the person to work around that.
Inclusive
What is said or posted has to reach everyone: people who cannot hear, cannot speak, cannot see well, or have never got on with technology. It should take neither technical skill nor an expensive device bought at one's own expense.
Simple
No new device to study, no app to install, nothing to unlock or pair. The tools sit where they are needed and behave like the object they replace: a screen at the counter, a sheet on the wall.
Nobody left out
Knowing what is for lunch, whose birthday it is, when the service starts: those are the things that keep a person inside other people's lives. When they stop arriving — at the counter, in a family, in a care home — that is where loneliness begins.

The platform
Speech today. Sign language next. Then sight.
The ecosystem grows: new capabilities arrive as accessories that work alongside the devices already installed, on the same infrastructure.
Live
Voice
Speech becomes readable as it is spoken, at the counter and at home, with a colour for each voice.
In development
Sign language (LIS)
Recognition of LIS captured by a webcam that joins the station.
Planned
Blind users
Support for people who cannot see, through dedicated accessories, on the same platform and within the same local processing boundary.
Capabilities that are not live yet are marked as such and are not part of today's installations.
Three contexts
One mission, three solutions.
At the counter
Municipal offices, hospital receptions, banks, post offices, pharmacies. Two screens carry the conversation at the desk, and a written summary is left at the end.
It makes the office accessible in the way the European Accessibility Act and the social side of ESG require: the service equips itself, rather than the person having to bring their own way of communicating.
See how it works
At home
A portable, self-contained device with a battery and a single button: it gives every voice a colour and uses light to flag the sounds that would go unnoticed.
It lets someone follow a conversation between several people without asking anyone to repeat themselves, and notice what is happening in the house.

In care homes
eInk labels on the wall of a care home: the day's menu, birthdays, activities, service times, messages from relatives.
They keep residents inside the life of the home and in touch with the people they love — the first barrier against loneliness — without asking them to learn anything.

Regulatory driver
Accessible public-facing services are an obligation, not an option.
The European Accessibility Act — Directive (EU) 2019/882, transposed in Italy by D.Lgs. 82/2022 — has applied since 28 June 2025. For services and equipment already in use, the transitional regime runs to 2030.
Penalties under the Italian transposition reach €40,000 and, for repeated violations, up to 5% of annual turnover.
