The Voiceitt app can be downloaded for free by individuals or in volume by institutions, nursing facilities and organizations.
Voiceitt's app integrates with Amazon's Alexa. The Voiceitt experience begins with a simple training phase, allowing the software to better recognize an individual's speech. After the user repeats a set of words and phrases several times, the Voiceitt app builds an artificial intelligence-powered speech model that allows the individual to communicate specific commands.
"Everyone deserves to be able to express themselves and to be understood," said Danny Weissberg, Voiceitt co-founder and CEO. "With this launch, countless people with non-standard speech will be able to use their own voice to easily communicate with caregivers, loved ones and even their smart home devices. I'm so proud to make our technology available to this wonderful community. Voice recognition technology is finally becoming accessible to everyone."
