"I've been wet with the rain, so I want to hold an umbrella for others." Shi Chengchuan, the founder of
Music Book App, lost his hearing due to a meningitis at the age of eleven. The sudden silent world made him at one point helpless and difficult to accept the cruel reality. But the teasing of fate did not make him sink, but inspired him to become a dream maker and create a lofty dream.
Now, Shi Chengchuan led his team to launch this application for hearing-impaired people - Music Book App, which has helped more than 1 million hearing-impaired users get out of the quiet life and listen to the colorful world.
is different from other applications serving hearing-impaired people. The Music Book App is not only a voice-to-text software, but also has rich and powerful functions. and brings rich subtitle functions, speech training functions, intelligent hearing aid functions and sign language learning functions . It can also communicate community, express your feelings, and find jobs through the app.
The waves start from the reef - the origin of dreams
What makes Shi Chengchuan care more about is "not being seen".
Due to his own experience, Shichengchuan felt more deeply about the difficulties of hearing-impaired people and was determined to use technological means to help hearing-impaired people communicate without barriers.
In fact, Shi Chengchuan started his dream-making plan during his college years. When he was in his sophomore year, the rise of smart glasses , Shichengchuan was eager to develop a smart glasses that could serve hearing-impaired people. He hit it off with his friends, but because of his advanced ideas, he only made a prototype. But Shichengchuan did not shelve the project, but quickly changed its thinking, and will focus on application development.
is reborn in adversity - the realization of dreams
"With the help of HMS Core capabilities, the Music Book App makes everything possible a reality."
At first, the Music Book App was just a simple voice-to-text tool. During the development process, the team found that the current sign language synchronous interpretation service in China has not been popularized, and videos such as movies, TV series, variety shows, etc. will not be equipped with sign language explanations specifically. Shichengchuan thought that if the mobile phone was installed with smart sign language software, it would be more convenient for hearing-impaired people to watch videos and communicate with others.
After fully understanding the needs of hearing-impaired users, the team used the open capabilities of HMS Core to make specific optimizations to the application. Through in-depth cooperation with Huawei , the Music Book App has integrated HMS Core open capabilities such as Huawei accounts, Network Kit, push services, etc., and is also integrating HMS Core sign language services to test the "sign language digital person" function. Through technology innovation, promotes the continuous progress of social information accessibility, benefiting more hearing-impaired groups and making communication accessible.
"At present, HMS Core sign language service has covered more than 20,000 sign language vocabulary, meeting many application scenarios such as life communication, education and learning, and social information acquisition. For example, in children's education scenarios, text in specific books can be translated into sign language to help hearing-impaired children read and learn."
In the future, the Music Book App will also use the Hongmeng ecosystem for deeper development, such as developing standard interfaces for hearing-impaired people based on the unified operating system base of HarmonyOS, and better connect with hearing-aid devices on the market, so that more hearing-impaired people and institutions can benefit.
Shichengchuan said: "It is a great and touching thing to be able to help more people achieve barrier-free communication."
Among the many audio book app users, a couple are hearing-impaired and they have a cute baby. As the child grows up, communication between the couple and the child becomes the biggest obstacle. This is a very simple thing for ordinary people, but it cannot be done for them. "After using the Audiobook App, I 'heard' my child call him mom and dad for the first time, and the haze and hard work in my heart were wiped out." The couple shared on their circle of friends. The positioning of the
music book App is a platform for serving the hearing-impaired group. The vision of the future is to achieve accessible communication for hearing-impaired people and provide all-round services to more people.Shi Chengchuan said: "The Yinshu App will also make full use of the advantages of the Hongmeng ecosystem to provide heartwarming and convenient practical functions for hearing-impaired users and people with weakened hearing. At the same time, we also hope that other developers of will design more accessible and more inclusive products, so that technology can serve everyone. "
At present, "sign language digital people" have been fully open to developers through the HMS Core sign language service. Through the sign language service SDK, we can quickly realize real-time sign language translation, create various sign language apps, and provide more diversified services for hearing-impaired people. Huawei hopes to work with developers to create a world with barrier-free communication.
