US assistive technology company SubLinq has announced what it claims are the world’s first smart subtitle glasses designed for the deaf community.
This product converts conversations into real-time text on the lenses. Users can see what others are saying and solve daily communication problems.
SubLinq uses display technology that shows text on both eye lenses at the same time. This creates a balanced visual experience. The system reduces eye and head tiredness while users read conversations and maintain natural eye contact without looking away or checking other devices.
The glasses feature AI speech processing that supports real-time writing and translation for more than 140 languages. They work even in noisy places. With noise filtering, the system achieves 98% accuracy, and the built-in microphone works independently without needing a smartphone.
Weighing 44g, the glasses are lighter than other products on the market. They feel natural for all-day wear. The fashionable design looks like regular glasses while providing technology that doesn’t hurt personal style.
Beyond the main technology, SubLinq offers phone call writing that shows caller conversations on the lenses. It also has smart directions with real-time guidance. The AI assistant is made for deaf users and works through easy visual controls.
“SubLinq represents our goal to make the world equally accessible,” said the company’s CEO. “By removing communication barriers, deaf individuals can participate confidently in social, workplace and school settings.”
Beta tester feedback shows the life-changing impact of this technology. “SubLinq solves problems deaf people have faced for years,” said one user. “Being able to hear conversations in real time without interpreters or constantly checking phones is amazing.”
SubLinq smart glasses are available for pre-order with early pricing. Products will ship in the third quarter of 2025.
