SwarSware

SwarSware is an Android application designed to assist individuals with hearing impairments by detecting environmental sounds and converting them into structured vibrations in real-time. By leveraging LiteRT (formerly TensorFlow Lite) and foreground service technology, SwarSware can identify various emergency and situational sounds, providing proactive alerts through customizable vibration patterns.

This application enhances users’ safety and social participation in daily life, serving as an affordable alternative for those unable to purchase hearing aids (HAs), or as a complementary tool to increase environmental awareness for hearing aid users.
