H.E. Simone Giger, Swiss Ambassador to Ghana, recently held an insightful meeting with Albert Tetteh and Ike Agyei Mensah, CEO of DEAF CAN TALK, an AI-powered mobile app that bridges the communication gap between hearing-impaired individuals and the hearing community. This innovative app, the first of its kind in Ghana, converts spoken speech into text and vice versa in real time, allowing seamless communication between deaf and hearing individuals.
The discussion highlighted the significance of inclusive technology and how DEAF CAN TALK is transforming lives by promoting accessibility and independence for people with hearing disabilities. Ambassador Giger’s interest in the app signifies a growing global awareness of the importance of empowering marginalized groups through technological solutions.
In addition to this revolutionary app, it is worth celebrating that students from the Deaf School participated in the Ghana Robotics Competition for the first time and emerged victorious in the Techs League. Their achievement is a testament to the limitless potential within every individual, regardless of disability.
Albert Tetteh, reflecting on the significance of this initiative, stated, “Everyone is unique; let us not despise anyone, whether or not he/she has a disability. We are mightier together.” His words are a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from unity and inclusion.
This meeting is a significant step towards fostering global partnerships aimed at uplifting and transforming lives. H.E. Simone Giger’s dedication to promoting equality and innovation is truly inspiring. Together, with such collaborations, we can continue to achieve extraordinary results, ensuring no one is left behind.
