Olivier Jeannel

Olivier Jeannel is the founder of RogerVoice, an app enabling deaf people to make calls, using voice recognition and text captions.

At 2 years of age, Olivier lost a significant part of his hearing. Born and raised in California, he played on his first Macintosh in 1992. After graduating from UC Berkeley and Sciences Po Paris, he began his career at Orange. Through his involvement in associations promoting disability awareness, Olivier realised that telephone accessibility is a major challenge that can now be solved through advances in digital technology.
