Break the silence. At-Table is designed to bridge the communication gap between Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing individuals and Hearing individuals in social settings. It directly addresses "Dinner Table Syndrome"—the isolation often felt by deaf people at group gatherings where multiple conversations happen simultaneously, making lip-reading impossible. By leveraging local mesh networking and real-time speech-to-text, At-Table makes sure everyone is part of the conversation. KEY FEATURES: No Wi-Fi Needed: Uses local mesh networking to connect up to 8 devices directly. Real-Time "Live Row": For Deaf/HoH users, see text appear instantly while people are speaking—no waiting for the sentence to finish. Two Unique Modes: . Deaf Mode: Focus on the conversation flow with live transcription cards and haptic feedback when new messages arrive. . Hearing Mode: "Just speak naturally." The app automatically transcribes your speech, so you can focus on your friends, not your phone. Visual Identity: Assign unique "Aura Colors" to every participant, making it easy to instantly recognize who is speaking via glowing, color-coded message bubbles. Privacy First: No central server. Devices talk directly to each other, keeping your conversation local and private. Create an inclusive environment where no one is left out of the loop. Download At-Table and see the conversation as it happens.
