About HD Transcribe

My Mission

To allow Huntington's Disease patients to communicate more easily and improve their quality of life, this project aims to produce a deep-learning voice recognition algorithm that can understand HD patients' speech. This algorithm will specifically be trained with audio clips of HD patients and transcripts of their words. Therefore, it will be able to interpret HD patients' specific patterns of speech and produce transcripts of their words, facilitating communication between these patients and their loved ones.

Comfort & Communication

HD Transcribe provides a speech-to-text function that allows patients to communicate with others more easily. As the disease progresses, individuals may have difficulty speaking clearly or may have difficulty controlling the movements of their mouth and throat, making it difficult for others to understand them. By using this tool to convert their speech into written text, they can communicate more effectively and with less frustration.

Tracking & Monitoring

Another potential use for HD Transcribe in individuals with Huntington's disease is as a tool for monitoring the progression of the disease. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience changes in their speech patterns, such as slurred speech or changes in their vocal pitch. By using HD Transcribe to transcribe speech samples over time, doctors and caregivers can track these changes and use them to monitor the progression of the disease.
