The communication system for deaf, hearing impaired, or mute persons comprises a processor control system which makes use of a microphone and spe ech recognizer to receive and process audio data. The processor also has the abi lity to process other audio data (e.g. non-speech) to determine whether or not a dan gerous situation exists within the environment surrounding the user. The system fur ther comprises a key pad and/or stylus and tablet information input system to accommodate communication from the user to the persons in the surrounding environment and a display capability to transmit the information so acquired by way of a projection apparatus, or other means, in the form of characters and in the language to which the user is accustomed. The system also comprises use of a remote data transceiver electrically connected to the processor to transmit and receive message information from similar devices that are not in the immediate vicin ity. Indicator signals which correspond to dangerous or cautionary situations rel ating to abnormally loud noises, or readily recognized sound patterns, such as a sire n may also be displayed to the user, as may be information related to geographic l ocation, distance to a preset destination, or other personally useful information.</S DOAB>
