Understand
Make spoken communication easier to follow through readable text and clear speaker distinction.
COMMUNICATION FOR EVERYONE
A world where everyone can communicate.
Communication should never be a barrier to connection. TOKALONG is building a more accessible way for deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing people to understand one another.
SPOKEN
“Did you make it home?”
TEXT RESPONSE
“Yes, just got in. Thanks for checking.”
A glimpse of the experience TOKALONG is working towards.
WHY TOKALONG
Connection should not depend on how you communicate.
Everyday conversations can ask some people to do extra work just to keep up. We believe communication technology should make more room for people, not ask people to fit a single way of speaking or listening.
THE TOKALONG VISION
One conversation.
More ways to take part.
TOKALONG is being designed to bring accessible communication experiences together, so people can connect in the ways that work for them, including deaf, hard-of-hearing, hearing, and people with speech impairments.
Respond
Give people a way to take part using text and other accessible interaction methods.
Connect
Bring people together through communication shaped around different needs.
BUILT AROUND PEOPLE
Technology should adapt to people.
Accessibility belongs in how technology is imagined, designed and built from the beginning.
- Access considered from the beginning
- Choice in how to take part
- Respect for different communication needs
- Technology shaped around everyday life
We believe communication should also respect people’s privacy, dignity and control over their conversations.
BE PART OF WHAT’S NEXT
The future of communication should include everyone.
Follow TOKALONG as we work towards communication that feels more accessible, more inclusive and more human.
