New app employing advanced voice AI offers transcription, dictation, and AI integrations for users with speech disabilities; available to individuals and organizations through authorized reseller, RAZ Mobility.
TEL AVIV, Israel and STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Voiceitt, the leading provider of speech recognition technology for non-standard speech, today announced the release of Voiceitt2. The new web application, powered by the company’s next-generation technology, will be available to customers through its partner and authorized reseller, the assistive technology company, RAZ Mobility.
Voiceitt 2 revolutionizes the way people with speech disabilities interact with technology. After an initial onboarding, the web application allows people with speech disabilities to speak spontaneously and be understood by family, friends, teachers, and others. The app allows someone with a speech disability to be understood by translating the user’s non-standard speech into standard speech. The app also enables users to transcribe conversations, dictate notes, and seamlessly integrate with popular AI assistants such as ChatGPT, in an abundance of new contexts. Webex capabilities are available as a Voiceitt add-on enabling accessible transcription and captioning during video meetings.
Voiceitt2 will be available in English as a browser-based software license for purchase for organizations and individuals in North America. Availability in the UK and Australia is anticipated in 2024, with additional languages and geographies expected to follow.
RAZ Mobility is a leading provider of mobile assistive technology and developer of their signature RAZ Memory Cell Phone for individuals experiencing cognitive decline, especially dementia. RAZ Mobility is also an innovator in the development and sale of mobile devices specifically for people who are blind, and it trains and supports people with disabilities on the use of iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The company sells its products and services directly to consumers, government, and select resellers. A key component of RAZ Mobility’s mission is to give back, which it does by sponsoring support groups for its customers caring for loved ones with dementia.
“The launch of Voiceitt2 is an important milestone in the evolution of Voiceitt’s technology and business,” said Alyson Pace, CEO of Voiceitt. “Voiceitt’s first product, an iOS app, was game changing for its ability to help people with speech disabilities express their wants and needs, and to access and control devices through voice commands, thanks to a unique integration with Amazon’s Alexa. Voiceitt2 brings these existing use cases to the next level, by empowering people with speech disabilities to speak spontaneously. With the proliferation of new voice AI applications and use cases, I’m excited to witness the creative possibilities our community members will explore, enhancing productivity, fostering connections with loved ones, and bringing their ideas to life using their voices. We couldn’t have found a better partner than RAZ Mobility to put Voiceitt2 in the hands of users.”
Both Voiceitt and RAZ Mobility are active participants of AARP’s AgeTech Collaborative and have benefited substantially from the Collaborative’s extensive support and activities. “We are thrilled to see the incredible advancements from Voiceitt and the natural affiliation with RAZ Mobility,” said Rick Robinson, VP & GM of the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP. “This is exactly the kind of collision we hope to see among participants in the Collaborative portfolio, where both companies complement and connect with one another to the benefit of ever-larger audiences.”
Robert Felgar, the CEO of RAZ Mobility, acknowledged Voiceitt2’s unique position in assistive technology, blending advanced and inclusive voice AI with an accessible user experience. He said, “Voiceitt2 occupies a special niche within our field. By catering to the diverse needs and preferences of users, Voiceitt has developed an inclusive solution that addresses the speech and motor challenges they face. The launch of Voiceitt2 allows RAZ Mobility to provide comprehensive support for individuals with disabilities, enabling them to express themselves confidently using their voices. We are proud to partner with Voiceitt to bring this impactful product to market.”
