Pedius is a social enterprise that enables people who are deaf or hearing impaired to make private, real-time phone calls using advanced voice recognition technology. The software is available for smartphones, tablets, and web browsers, and it transcribes speech to text, allowing users to choose between using their own voice or converting a written message into a natural-sounding voice. The recipient's response instantly appears on the screen as written text. Pedius also offers services to subtitle meetings, conference calls, university lectures, training programs, conferences, and other events. They provide special services to businesses to make call centers accessible to deaf customers and improve workplace inclusion for deaf employees.
A portion of profits supports community events like CineDeaf and Poetry and Visual Vernacular Contests produced by deaf people.
