The new Voiceitt app is available to support people with speech disabilities
Categorized in: Accessible Telecoms BlogArticles of Interest
Voiceitt is an accessibility app for people with speech disabilities or impairments.
It translates atypical speech to facilitate communication using your voice with people and smart assistants. Voiceitt learns how you say a phrase, so it is ready to use in everyday conversations and routines. This app will be offered for free for a limited time on iPhones and iPads. However, it is currently not available on Android devices.
While not exactly a telecommunications app (as it does not have phone call functionality) we consider this app as a very valuable resource for the speech impaired community. Please watch this space as we can foresee this app evolving to allow phone call and SMS functionality in the future.
We regularly post advice, updates on telecommunications and accessibility. Explore posts based on your accessibility needs.
