So I built this — a Raspberry Pi with a 10\" touchscreen that sits next to his phone and transcribes conversations in near real-time, so he can read what people are saying. It picks up both phone calls (via a USB telephone recorder tapped into the landline) and in-room conversation (via a USB conference microphone), and displays live captions in large, clear text. When nobody's talking it shows a nice flip-clock. The whole thing runs headless as a systemd service — plug it in and it just works. Community I originally built this just for my Dad, but after sharing it on Reddit (r/raspberry pi, r/deaf) the response was overwhelming. Hundreds of people reached out — many from the deaf and hard-of-hearing community — telling me how much something like this would help them or someone they love. That response made me realise this could be genuinely useful to a lot of people, not just my Dad. So I'm now working on something new — a more polished, more accessible version designed from the ground up for the HoH community. Watch this space. In the meantime, this project is fully open source and works well. If you build one, I'd love to hear about it — open an issue or reach out on Reddit.
