ROCHESTER, N.Y. , Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced that its Vuzix Blade® smart glasses have been selected by Vuzix' Korean distributor Xpertinc Co., Ltd. ("Xpertinc") to power its C-Sound solution, an auxiliary engineering device that converts voice into text and expresses it in real time on Vuzix Blade smart glasses to assist deaf and hearing impaired people who cannot hear sound to have conversations. Xpertinc recently placed an initial volume order for Vuzix Blade smart glasses and has commenced customer shipments of this solution.

Xpertinc has developed AI STT (Artificial Intelligence Speech-to-Text) engines with its own technology to provide services to government agencies related to the disabled, including the Korea Employment Agency (KEAD), the Korea Information Technology Agency (NIA), and the National Rehabilitation Center (NRC). C-Sound uses a transformer-based rapid learning loop to improve text conversion accuracy, maintaining 92% accuracy through 15,000 hours of natural language dataset learning to date, with plans to increase accuracy to 95% through 18,000 hours of additional learning by the end of 2022. In addition, an application applied with UI/UX and open API for user convenience was developed and mounted. Xpertinc is also developing a hybrid model with embedded types that can be used in locations where Internet environments are weak or non-existent.

"Xpertinc's C-Sound solution is yet another example of how Vuzix smart glasses are directly helping improve people's lives," said Paul Travers , President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix.  "Currently, there are about 380,000 registered deaf people in Korea alone, and the C-Sound solution using Blade smart glasses can not only provide bright readable closed captioning for them, but its optically see-through waveguide will also allow its wearers to clearly view non-verbal conversation signals such as mouth shape, gesture, and facial expression."
