Auditory Communication Enhancement Through Touch

ACETT (Auditory Communication Enhancement Through Touch) enables listening through touch by converting the sounds of the environment including speech, into vibrations that the users feel on their hands. Deaf and Hard of Hearing People receive a unique sound experience through the device, which enhances their awareness of the sounds around them

Hearing with Your Skin: Meet ACETT

Feel the rhythm and structure of speech through touch cues.

What ACETT does

ACETT turns sounds into vibrations—allowing Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals to experience auditory information through touch.

  • Converts speech and environmental sounds to tactile patterns in real time.
  • Designed for inclusive learning, situational awareness, and natural communication.
  • Built from the HAIDWARE × Irerobot collaboration for reliability and innovation.
Advanced sound sensing
Array microphones capture speech and ambient cues.
Signal processing
Proprietary DSP and app algorithms extract audio features, visualize patterns, and enable text-to-speech (TTS) and speech-to-text (STT) interaction.
Tactile interface
Haptics deliver clear, comfortable vibrations on skin.
Interactive learning
App based training mode and quiz time help users master vibration patterns and improve recognition skills.

Technology

Using advanced sound sensors, proprietary signal processing, and a tactile feedback interface, ACETT translates speech and environmental sounds into real‑time vibrations on the user’s skin.

  • Sensors → capture acoustic input
  • DSP → extract features & map to haptic language
  • Haptics → render patterns as distinct, learnable vibrations
Built to high safety & performance standards; engineered with certification in mind.

Impact

From classrooms to daily life, ACETT supports confidence, independence, and inclusion.

Inclusive learning

Follow lessons, announcements, and discussions using tactile cues synced to speech.

Situational awareness

Feel critical sounds alarms, horns, doorbells translated into unmistakable vibration patterns.

Natural communication

Experience rhythm, emphasis, and turn‑taking features that support smooth conversation.

What Our Beta Testers Are Saying

The Acett device was developed through a user driven design approach, in close collaboration with members of the Deaf community. Three dedicated beta testers participated throughout the development cycle, testing every new iteration and providing feedback that shaped the final version of Acett.

Mr. A
Beta tester

“I’ve tested several iterations of ACETT, and each version has shown real improvement in vibration feedback and response accuracy. The latest model allows me to clearly distinguish between speech tones and background sounds. It’s reliable, fast, and feels like a true communication companion.”

Mr. B
Beta tester

“I’ve watched ACETT evolve month after month from basic vibration mapping to advanced capabilities where each sound now has its own unique vibration pattern. This helps me identify different sounds more easily and understand speech flow better.”

Mr. C
Beta tester

“As someone who has tried different assistive devices, ACETT stands out because it feels personal. It’s not just another gadget it’s something built with us, not just for us. I’m proud to have been part of the testing process and to see how far it has come.”
