| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research was to develop a method to subtitle and receive speech without visual information overload in a situation where multiple speakers are speaking at the same time.
The initial objective of the study defined the hearing-impaired as the main receivers. On the other hand, the developed method emphasizes immediate sharing, and it was found to be effective not only in subtitling by speech recognition, but also in communication mainly through text input. The developed method is still in operation, and is widely used by both hearing-impaired and hearing-impaired people in classes, meetings, and various communication objectives.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果であるアプリケーションは音声認識や翻訳等の機能を内包しており，幅広い活用が可能である．一方，即時共有性を重視したことで，当初重視していなかった文字入力についても，他のシステムにはない特性を有していることが分かった．複数音声を受信負荷の低い状態で聴覚障害者に伝達する目的で開発した手法である一方で，即時共有性は，聴覚障害者による発言，発信時に有効な手法であることが分かるなど，当初想定していなかった知見を得ることができた．現在も運用中であり，当事者意見を反映させ，アップデートを実施している．
