Zhou Dao's grandfather has a hearing problem. During a family party last year, Zhou Dao noticed something. His grandfather sat quietly by himself. The old man was unable to join the talks.
Zhou Dao was sad about this. "Grandpa always reads subtitles (字幕) to watch TV," he thought. "Why can't we put words on our talks?" Then, Zhou Dao began working on that idea. He spent about half a year developing a kind of smart glasses. These smart glasses help users "read" spoken words.
The glasses are connected to a smartphone. There is a microphone on the glasses. It records audio (录制音频) and sends it to the phone. A piece of software turns the audio into words. People can see the words on the glasses.
This allows users with hearing problems to understand others during the talks well. Now Zhou Dao's grandfather can wear the glasses and speak to someone else face to face or over the phone.
Zhou Dao was happy to help his grandfather. Slowly, more and more people in need can wear this kind of glasses.
