What our users are saying

“I’m a school bus driver. 3 of my students are deaf. Hugo has helped me learn enough sign to have brief exchanges with them. I hope Hugo continues to teach me. The kids love that I’m trying and think it’s funny when I mess up and are eager to correct me. Thanks Hugo.”

“As a firefighter and inspector with the fire department, we do smoke alarm installations for hearing impaired individuals. I was able to utilise Hugo to allow me to communicate between the family who is hearing impaired and myself. Installing smoke alarms is a matter of life safety. Therefore being able to communicate is essential. Thank you for your App. It came in “HANDY”.”
