my mom is deaf and asked me why she couldn't just see captions above people's faces instead of looking down at her phone. so i built that.

it's an android app that uses the camera to track faces and puts speech bubbles above whoever is talking. she specifically wanted it in AR glasses so she could keep eye contact in work meetings. glasses aren't there yet so i did the phone version first.

i'm hearing. she's my only real user so far. i genuinely don't know if this is useful or if i've just been building something in a bubble (no pun intended).

if you want to try it i'll send the APK. if you don't want to try it, just tell me honestly whether something like this would actually be practical for you day to day. that feedback is just as useful. (I plan to implement into iOS soon i just don't have money for the apple developer license, same with the glasses lol)
