Live Call Text-to-Speech (TTS) for Deaf/Non-Speaking Users
Request to support deaf users who cannot hear and cannot speak during live RingCentral voice calls. The customer wants the ability to type responses during the call, and for the system to read the text aloud to the hearing person on the other end of the line.
This feature would allow:
- Real-time Text-to-Speech conversion of typed messages by the deaf user.
- Seamless integration with existing captioning/transcription features.
- The hearing participant to hear the typed messages spoken naturally. Optional voice customization (male/female tone, speed).
Why This Is Needed:
- Improves accessibility for deaf and non-speaking users who still need to communicate with customers or coworkers by phone.
- Supports full two-way communication without needing a 3rd-party relay service.
- Aligns with global accessibility standards (ADA, WCAG).
