Live speech to text for my phone calls with my dad.
My dad is a baby boomer. He is hard of hearing/deaf. If my dad could read what I am saying and what others are saying in a video chat; it would literally change his life and the foundation of his relationships for the better. There are services that do this over the phone where a live person is interpreting and creating text but it isn't great and it doesn't have video. But if portal could combine the technology of speech to text with video and audio for someone like my dad - you would have MANY new customers. People are going to continue to get older and lose their hearing. They need a solution that supports theirs and their friends and family members needs. This is not just isolated to the one hard of hearing person. It is a community of people. If portal could figure this our, I, and many others would want to buy into your company. Not to mention as part of the disabilities act the federal government has to pay for this service. You could replace these services with portal and your first customer could be Uncle Sam. I've heard they've got some money.

Yes, please make this a more accessible friendly device. I was hoping this device would allow my 96year old mother to connect with my 40 year old deaf daughter. My mother doesn't understand how to send text and my daughter doesn't do phone calls. I thought this was the solution but the close caption feature is just for pre-recorded content (like youtube).
