"With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the world was forced to wear face masks in public, highlighting an issue faced by professionals who wear masks for their jobs: muffled voices and incomprehensible speech, especially for those with hearing impairments."
"Captcha-Shield will be a lightweight speech-to-text system that sits on custom face shields and prints audio-to-text on screens to better help people, especially those with hearing impairments, understand their mask wearing counterpart."
