Xander

Xander is a technology brand focused on improving in-person communication for people, families, and teams affected by hearing loss. Its central product, XanderGlasses, uses augmented reality and sensory substitution to turn speech into real-time captions displayed in the wearer’s field of view. The lightweight glasses are designed to help people follow conversations while looking at the speaker and their surroundings, whether at home, at work, or in noisy public places.

Xander emphasizes simple operation, reliability, and privacy. The glasses are ready to use without pairing to a phone, installing an app, or connecting to Wi-Fi or cellular service. Their captioning system is self-contained, and the company says conversations are not sent to a cloud service. There are no subscription fees or hidden data charges. Xander’s broader vision is to use augmented reality to foster greater understanding and connection. The brand also provides product information, customer testimonials, a help center, and opportunities to connect through its community, partners, and mailing list.
