XRAI Glass

The gift was the glasses. The real gift was being in the room. 🎁

Eve bought her mum, Melanie, a pair of our captioning glasses. Instead of just shipping them over, she planned something better: a surprise visit to our COO Lara's home, where Melanie had no idea what was waiting for her.

Watch the moment Melanie puts the glasses on for the first time and sees real-time captions appear right in front of her eyes.

A gift picked out with love, and a reaction worth traveling for. ❤️

Heading to Chicago for the Coliseum Summit US next week? 🇺🇸

Dan Scarfe, our Founder & CEO, will be at Wrigley Field on August 26–27 for one of the industry's best-kept secrets — a curated summit where venue operators and club execs talk shop with zero sales pitches and zero fluff.

If you're going to be in the area (on-site or off), send us a message and let's set up time to meet!

“I received the glasses today, and I am literally in tears. Thank you so much. My deaf son is travelling outside the country and will return on Friday. I cannot wait to gift them to him.”

Now, he’s wearing them. And we couldn’t be happier to have played a small part in this moment.

Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤️

"Instead of asking every passenger to adapt to the announcement, the announcement adapts to the passenger."

That's the vision behind our pilot at Bristol Temple Meads.

In partnership with Network Rail, GWR, Ampetronic and Connected Places Catapult, we're exploring how multilingual AI announcements and Auracast broadcast audio could help shape the future of passenger information, making it more accessible, personalised and inclusive.

Come and experience the future of train travel. 🚉🇬🇧

We're inviting members of the public to be among the first to try our new live AI-powered audio announcement system at Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station.

📅 Thursday 6th August
🕙 10:00am – 12:00pm (Midday)
📍 Platform 9

Using the latest Auracast technology from Ampetronic, we're exploring a new way for passengers to hear station announcements directly through compatible earbuds, headphones and hearing aids.

We're proud to be working alongside Network Rail, GWR and Connected Places Catapult to showcase how AI and Auracast technology can make passenger information more accessible, more personalised and more inclusive.

Our team will be on hand with demo equipment, so no compatible device is needed to take part.

Whether you're curious about new technology, accessibility, or the future of public transport, we'd love to meet you and hear your feedback.

See you on Platform 9! 👋

Meet one of our newest XRAI AR2 users 👋

They joined us at our invite-only London demo day last weekend to try the glasses for the first time. It was great meeting so many people, answering questions, and helping new users experience live captions in action.

It’s always encouraging to see hearing care professionals experience the XRAI AR2 for themselves. 👩‍⚕️👓

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Judy Olson, AuD, from Indiana and introducing her to our captioning glasses.

It was great to spend time together, demo the technology, and hear her perspective as a Doctor of Audiology.

Thank you for taking the time to meet with us!

Perks of living near our CEO? You might just get an invite to try the glasses! 😄

Jennifer and her friend are both local, so they came over for a hands-on demo—and we couldn’t have been happier to show them what the glasses can do. Meeting members of our community in person and seeing their first experience with XRAI never gets old.

Thanks for visiting, Jennifer! We hope to see you both again soon. 💙

“Whenever I used these glasses, I was looking at faces and expressions. You have no idea how happy I felt during those first few uses.”

We’re incredibly grateful to Pujitha for sharing her experience with the XRAI AR2 and for allowing us to share her story. Seeing our technology help people have more natural conversations and build stronger connections is exactly why we do what we do.

Thank you, Pujitha, for trusting us to be part of your journey. 💙

Congratulations, Michael!

Michael Woods, who climbed without an interpreter, says there were times he felt "quite alone".
