Abstract

This research aims to analyse the use of assistive technology that should be used by students with hearing disabilities for courses. This research was carried out by collecting quantitative data on learning outcomes. The subjects in the first experimental class were 5 students with hearing disabilities, and in the second experimental class 5 students with hearing disabilities. The research results show that the use of assistive speech-to-text instant transcription technology using a Bluetooth microphone connected to an LED screen has a more significant effect on the learning outcomes of students with hearing disabilities, compared to using a personal smartphone. The use of assistive speech-to-text instant transcription technology is beneficial for students with hearing disabilities in understanding lecture material, self-confidence, and practice of using it in higher education. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
