About Us
Deaf and hard of hearing individuals often miss the nuanced information presented by audio, and feel left out of spaces when they are unable to have the same emotional experience as their hearing peers.
Using ALTiO, users can supplement audio posts with drawings and artwork that convey these specific feelings in a visual way. The stakes for creating an “ALTiO” are only personal–users don't have to be artists to show how they feel, they just need the tools to do so! Users can then explore these various creations by artist or genre to discover and engage with different visual content.
