Tadeo (a service of Delta Process)

Background

In France, almost 100.000 Deaf and Hard-of-hearing persons are working in public and private companies. They don't have access to telephone, meetings or training sessions. The way they communicate with their environment is often paved with difficulties.

The Innovation

Today – thanks to Tadeo – Deaf and Hard-of-hearing people can receive and make phone calls, they can participate in meetings and be trained in all autonomy; like any other person, they can communicate with their environment.

The Service

Through the software developed by Tadeo, a Deaf or hard-of-hearing employee can get in touch with any other hearing person from the same company or not.

Tadeo provides a wide range of real-time remote services such as:

• Instant Speech-to-Text Transcription (ISTT)
• Visio-interpretation in French Sign Language
• Cued Speech (CS)
• Lips reading associated with Transcription (RepeaWriting – RW)

The Advantage

This service brings advantages on both sides: the employer grants the equality of chances and fulfills his management policy; the deaf or hard-of-hearing employee gets full autonomy and can explore new professional fields.
