Useful technology starts with people.

What we cover

Projectear is an independent journal about everyday technology, apps, sound and accessibility. We start with a task rather than a product launch: following a meeting, understanding a video, sharing information or deciding which setting deserves a second look.

Our first guides focus on meetings and captions. The wider brief is the same: explain what a tool does, where it falls short and what a reader can check for themselves. One feature rarely removes every barrier.

Who it is for

People who use digital tools, organise conversations or make things for others to read, hear and watch. You do not need a technical background. You do need room to ask what works for the people involved.

A practical editorial voice

One problem at a time. Plain explanations. Specific checks. Sources beside the claims they support. Our articles use the house byline Projectear editors; examples are labelled as examples, and a checklist is not presented as a product test.

Read our editorial approach and correction policy.

The earlier PRO.ject.EAR

This domain previously carried material about PRO.ject.EAR in Tyrol, Austria. The present journal is independent of that former centre. We do not operate its services or represent its former staff.

Five source-based historical pages remain in German at their established addresses: the former contact page, the school project, music and LIFE AWARD stories, the tinnitus section and the accessibility section. They explain older references to this domain; they are not current service listings.

Where our remit ends

Projectear does not provide hearing tests, treatment or individual medical advice. Technical guidance also has limits: a readable caption does not, by itself, make an entire service accessible. Requirements depend on the people, content and context involved.
