SRAVI (Speech Recognition for the Voice Impaired) is an innovative communication tool designed for patients who have lost the ability to speak. It is a specialised app created to assist individuals who can no longer vocalise but are still able to move their lips. This is especially useful for hospitalised patients who are critically unwell and require immediate assistance. By leveraging advanced lip-reading technology, SRAVI interprets lip movements and converts them into speech, making it possible for patients to communicate effectively without using their voice. The app works by using the camera on a smartphone to record a short video of the user's lip movements. SRAVI then performs automatic lip-reading to verbalise the phrases being mouthed. Presently, SRAVI is capable of recognising approximately 40 predefined phrases. These phrases have been selected for their relevance to patients in critical care situations. Examples of these phrases include 'I need the bathroom', 'I’m uncomfortable', and 'I’m thirsty'. Designed primarily for clinical settings, SRAVI is an invaluable tool for clinicians and carers looking to enhance patient communication. It’s especially beneficial for individuals who have lost their voice due to conditions such as tracheostomies, trauma, stroke, or paralysis. By facilitating real-time communication, SRAVI significantly improves the quality of care and patient comfort. The app also offers a high degree of personalisation. Users can add additional phrase lists tailored to specific needs, and switching between these lists is straightforward. This allows SRAVI to adapt to the unique requirements of each patient, providing an individualised communication experience. Currently, SRAVI is not available for individual users. However, individuals can encourage hospital staff to request the app by contacting Liopa at [email protected]. Clinicians interested in trialling SRAVI with their patients should also reach out to this contact for more details.

SRAVI is available for download on the App Store and Google Play, making it accessible for clinical use on both iOS and Android devices. By integrating SRAVI into clinical practice, healthcare providers can offer a personalised, effective communication solution for voice-impaired patients. The impact of SRAVI on patient care is profound, offering a lifeline of communication for those who cannot speak.
