The distinguished Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Rochester, New York, is renowned for graduating successful professionals who are deaf and hard of hearing. They account for 8.8 percent of the school’s nearly 19,000 students.

To best serve them, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf was established at RIT in 1967. Here dedicated researchers—many of them deaf themselves—are working with Microsoft, using artificial intelligence, specifically Presentation Translator for PowerPoint by Microsoft Translator.

This technology displays live captions of lectures on screen, with the option for students to follow along on their own device, in one of over 60 languages.

This technology is available for download today. Visit the
