👁 RingVoice — Live Doorbell Captions

Amazon Developer Hackathon 2026 — Build, Ship & Shape

Never miss who's at the door.

RingVoice streams real-time captions from your Ring doorbell camera directly to your phone — so deaf and hard-of-hearing residents know exactly who's there and what they're saying, without missing a moment.


🎯 The Problem

Over 11 million adults in the US are deaf or hard of hearing. Standard Ring doorbells rely entirely on audio — a live speaker from the device, two-way talk, and chime sounds. For HoH residents, these features are completely inaccessible.

RingVoice fixes that.
