In Today's world the tecnology had made the distances to dissapear
We can communicate with people from all over the world in seconds,
but how is this reality for the people that had some disability?
How is this reality for the people that have hearing disability?
Have you ever ask that question?
We did
According to the World Federation of the Deaf,
there are approximately 70 million Deaf people worldwide.
It is estimated that more than 80 percent of these 70 million
live in developing countries,
where authorities are rarely familiar with their needs or desires.
In Ecuador there are 7 deep deaf children for every one thousand children.
Hearing disabled people are affected
in the way they communicate with others.
In a regular situation, children learn to distiguish the words
from other sounds and thus they learn to speak and to express their ideas,
but for a hearing disabled child, the situation is very different,
they live in a world of silence, but this doesn't mean that
they haven't anything to say.
The main problem is that there aren't many institutions especialized
in the education of the hearing disabled people in the world,
the deaf children can't access to the appropiate education,
and so, they can't progress and make a better live and a better society.
The technology can help us to make a world where this barriers doesn't
exist anymore, it's time to reach a real inclusion and make a better
world, a world for everyone.
This is our proposal,
Falcon Dev Ecuador presents
E.A.S.Y. system, education asisted by software,
a system that will help in the education
of the deaf children, by including them into a regular classroom
where they can learn at the same speed of all the other children
and share experiencies with them, making a better human being
and a productive entity for the society.
E.A.S.Y. works as a translator between the spoken languaje
and the sign languaje, used by the deaf people all over the world,
this breaks the barrier that exists for the unkowing of the sign languaje.
E.A.S.Y. make the children have fun while they are learning, and so,
the education becomes more effective,
E.A.S.Y. captures the attention of the children making the work of the teacher
as easy as is with the other children.
The system is composed of several
features, that includes:
The class module: with the translator animation.
The class module will show every word the teacher says, also, it has specific blocks
of different subjects for a better comprehention.
Another feature of the class module
is to record the current class for later reviewings.
The question module: that lets the student to make a question to the teacher,
the student will write the question or request on the screen and then,
the teacher will hear it in his or her headphones.
The multimedia module,
and also to get used to use it in their daily life.
that allows to watch videos which are translated to sign languaje,
this will provide an easy and fun way to the kids to learn sign languaje
The mobility is a subject that is incresing in the world,
61% of the worlds' population have a cell phone.
E.A.S.Y. mobile is a solution that offers the users the possibilty
to carry his own sign languaje translator in their pockets
E.A.S.Y. posses an internet explorer 8 acellerator, that allows
to translate text from any web page, from text to sign languaje
A small idea can become a huge project,
a project became a product,
and a product can make a big change in the world,
that is why we never stop thinking,
and looking for new applications of the system,
and here we got some of them
Box Offices, Cash desks or Customer services
the communication between the client and the cashier is no longer a problem,
the cashier speaks, and the client writes his requests,
everything is translated for the other person
The cinema
E.A.S.Y. could be used in a cinema, as an option to the subtitles in the movies,
making the experience more pleasant for the people that use the sign languaje
The TV
Every tv show will become fully understandable for a sign
using person, achieving an inclusion in all the media
E.A.S.Y. had been test in several specialized institutes
and also in a regular education school,
the results were very pleasant,
the kids receive the software as if its a game,
and that was one of our goals,
to make the kids gets confident in the use of the software
This is the first step,
and sure will not be the last,
there is a long way to walk.
We wont stop imagining
