Visionary Company C-Hear Set to Make Audible Splash at SXSW
DALLAS, March 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Unfakable documents, unbreakable contracts, unstealable images and the advent of secure, portable, talking pictures will be unveiled by innovative tech company, C-Hear, during a panel discussion at the famed South by Southwest festival next week in Austin.
C-Hear’s revolutionary and proprietary Codec allows images to include audio annotation, deleting the need for long, slow-loading video files or insufficient static photos. Contracts and wills sealed verbally, images containing audio watermarking and friends simply sharing images with sound – eliminating additional texting – are only some of the C-Hear benefits to be highlighted.
The panel, part of a Digital Accessibility tech talk, will include C-Hear collaborators Accessible360, Zing and DylanListed and will also focus on the company’s inventive tools addressing website digital accessibility. The discussion is set for Wednesday, March 13 from 12:30-1:30 at the JW Marriott hotel’s Salon H.
“After years of development and sweat equity, we’re proud and excited to showcase C-Hear at a prestigious event like South by Southwest,” said C-Hear founder and CEO, Adena Harmon. “We started with a simple idea and a single destination: Provide an image with sound in a single file, without the need for a big, cumbersome video. We’re confident the reaction to our software will be enthusiastically positive.”
C-Hear’s services will benefit not only the seven million visually impaired Americans using the Internet, but also clinical workflows in the healthcare industry, teachers, lawyers and anyone that – until now – has toiled sending separate video, audio and photo files.
