Outline of Final Research Achievements	We have developed a system that presents real-time speech content using sentences containing kana and Chinese characters that are presented with pronunciation or parentheses alongside Chinese Characters by a stenography keyboard or PC Note Take for hearing-impaired person. We can present Head Mounted Display or Smartphone with Caption. We can input Real-time Caption using virtual private server form distant place.
