Individuals who are deaf can directly communicate with people who do not know sign language
A person who is hard of hearing can instantly see a closed-caption transcript of what's being said in conversations, a conference room discussion, a radio broadcast, or a video program
People who have difficulty writing or typing but have verbal skills can use their voice to dictate memos, answer test questions, or generate text for documents and emails
Interact-AS gives a voice back to individuals who have lost the ability to speak by voicing aloud whatever a person types or writes
With optional Language Modules, Interact-AS instantly translates conversations to and from foreign languages

Load Interact-AS onto your PC laptop, netbook or tablet and you are ready to go. Interact-AS makes it simple to communicate—whatever you type or write is spoken out loud.
