Everything everyone else hears, on their wrist in writing
The PA call, the fire drill, the “come to the office.” Someone types it at a PC, and the watch on your employee’s wrist vibrates and shows the words. One person or the whole shift, deep in the building, no phones and no Wi‑Fi involved.
One-time purchase · no monthly fees · receive-only watch pagers · no internet required
The accommodation your PA system can’t make
Under the ADA, deaf and hard of hearing employees are entitled to an equally effective way to receive what everyone else gets over the intercom: the evacuation, the severe-weather call, the drill, the everyday “come to the office.” Most buyers come to us from safety or HR with the same sentence: we need them included and accounted for, just like any other associate.
The Requirement
Equal access to safety-critical and operational information: alarms, evacuations, drills, announcements, and being reachable on the floor like everyone else.
The Solution
A vibrating watch pager on every deaf or hard of hearing employee, so anything said over the PA reaches them in writing, at the same moment.
The Proof
Every message is logged with a timestamp and recipient, and exports to CSV or HTML. That record shows your deaf employees got the evacuation call, to the minute.
One screen reaches every watch
Staff pick a message or type one, choose who gets it, and send. It all happens at one PC: the office, the security desk, wherever you put it. Nobody walks the floor to find someone first.
One employee
“Come to the main office.” One person’s watch vibrates, and the log names them and nobody else.
A group or the whole shift
Every watch on shift, or any group you define: a department, a building, a crew.
Site-wide emergency
Every pager at once for an evacuation, severe weather, or a drill. These are the sends the system exists for.
Off a preset list
As many preset messages as you care to define, plus free text for what a list can’t cover.
Every message, documented
The system logs every page automatically, with the time, the wording, the recipient, and who sent it. That’s the difference between telling an auditor, an inspector, or a lawyer “we always let them know” and handing over the record that shows it.
- Show the evacuation call reached your deaf staff, to the minute
- Export any day or date range to CSV or HTML
- Stays on your PC. No cloud account, nothing leaves the building

What’s in the system
One system covers one site: a transmitter on a PC, the software that sends from it, and a watch for every deaf or hard of hearing employee. That’s the whole parts list. The demo at the top of the page runs on exactly this.
What a site needs
one system per site
The transmitter
It connects to any Windows PC with one USB cable and broadcasts every message on its own radio channel, up to 3/4 mile. That’s why the system needs no network and no internet to do its job. One covers a site and carries as many watches as you issue.
Specifications
| Connection | one USB cable to a Windows PC |
|---|---|
| Range | up to 3/4 mile in the clear |
| Through racking and walls | less, so we confirm coverage from your floor plan |
| Watches | as many as needed |
| Needs Wi‑Fi / internet | no, it has its own radio signal |
| Size | 9 × 6.5 × 2.5 in |
The messaging software
The window staff work in, on the PC you choose: the office, the security desk, HR. Pick who it goes to, pick a message off your preset list or type one, and send. Every send is written to the log with the time, the wording, the recipient, and the sender. One license comes with the transmitter, and any other PC on your LAN can open it at no extra cost.
Specifications
| Runs on | one Windows PC |
|---|---|
| Sends to | one employee, a group, or every watch |
| Preset messages | as many as you define |
| Log | time, sender, recipient, wording |
| Export | CSV or HTML |
| Other send-points | any PC on your LAN, no extra license |
| Data | stays on your PC, no cloud |
The watch pagers
One for every deaf or hard of hearing employee. It vibrates hard enough to feel through work gloves, then shows the message in plain text, up to 44 characters, with the last 16 held in memory. Receive-only on purpose: nothing to unlock, tap, or answer. It charges from an ordinary wall plug, and a five-bay charger covers bigger fleets from one outlet.
Specifications
| Alert | vibrate + on-screen text |
|---|---|
| Message length | up to 44 characters |
| Memory | holds the last 16 messages |
| Sends | nothing, receive only |
| Battery | 3–4 days per charge · recharges in 4 hours |

Sized to your site before anything ships. One system covers one site, and a sister facility across town gets its own. We confirm the coverage against your square footage and layout during quoting, so you’re not left to find a dead zone later. Setup is an afternoon without an IT ticket: install the software, plug in the transmitter, hand out the watches. Training is one short remote call, and support and software updates are included for as long as you run it.
Proven in the places hardest on equipment
Amazon pages deaf associates with it at fulfillment centers in the US and Canada. Metro Nashville and St. Tammany Parish public schools page deaf staff and students, and the California School for the Deaf in Riverside has run it since 2020.
Common concerns, answered
Most facilities try that first. Texts die where the cell signal does, phones often aren’t allowed on the floor, and a message that lands in a locker protects nobody. Radios are voice, the one channel a deaf employee can’t use. The watch stays on the wrist, and the message arrives in writing.
No. The watch is receive-only, on purpose. There’s nothing to unlock, type on, or get wrong, which is why it works mid-task in gloves. The watch tells the employee, and the employee responds the way they already do: by showing up, or over text and email from a break area.
Out of the box, no. A person types and sends every message, and this is not a listed life-safety device or a fire-alarm replacement. What facilities actually do is fold the watch page into the same procedure that triggers the announcement, so the person keying the PA sends the page too. If you have a specific system you want it tied to, book a call and we’ll tell you straight whether it can be done.
Yes. The transmitter reaches up to 3/4 mile, and where steel racking or sheer size gets in the way, signal repeaters carry it the rest of the way — each relays another 1/4 mile and they chain, so there’s no footprint we can’t cover. Amazon runs it inside full-size fulfillment centers, steel racking and all, with repeaters placed off the layout. One system covers one site, and a sister facility across town gets its own. We size the repeaters and confirm the coverage from your square footage and layout during quoting, before you spend anything.
Usually nothing, because there’s nothing to review. The software runs locally on one Windows PC, the transmitter is a USB device, and the messages travel on our own radio frequency, not your network, not the internet, not the cloud. The message log stays on that PC. No employee data lives anywhere but with you.
