Communication barriers in Requirements Engineering (RE) are various, including different levels of experience, different backgrounds, cultures, and personalities of stakeholders. Such barriers can lead to communication gaps and project failures. This paper introduces the Smart RE framework, an approach to reduce communication gaps in RE by using the advantages of personal smart devices, which are very popular nowadays. As RE communication often occurs in regular faceto-face meetings, which commonly involve presentations and discussions, the framework captures the meeting context on the stakeholder's smart devices and provides personalized additional information such as explanations of the discussed terms.
