Abstract
Real-time speech transcription is a service of potentially tremendous positive impact on quality of life of the hearing-impaired. Nevertheless there is a total lack of government funding for these assistive services in the Czech Republic. In the article, we present such a business model of a socially orientated service that enables its long term sustainable development and provides online transcription services for personal use of the target group for free.
