Voiceitt has created speech recognition technology that enables individuals with non-standard speech to use their own voice to communicate with others and access other voice systems, technologies, and platforms.
Voiceitt is an online app available on any device with internet access and the ability to open a web browser, including mobile or desktop.
It is a speech-to-speech and speech-to-text software designed to understand spontaneous speech.
Watch a demo of speech-to-text here:
Voiceitt is a speech-to-text Assistive Technology(AT) and Augmentative, and Alternative Communication(AAC) software that allows people with non-standard speech, accented speech or aging voice to use their voice for communication with others or with technology.
1. Speak: speech-to-speech listens to your speech and repeats after you in a computerized voice.
2. Dictate: Speech-to-text listens to what you say, then writes it down on the screen and can play it aloud. The dictated text can be copied and pasted somewhere else, so you can dictate your emails, social media posts, private messages, etc.
3. Integrates to provide closed captioning in virtual meeting platforms including Zoom, Teams, and WebEx.
4. Voiceitt for Chrome allows speech-to-text directly into the Chrome browser with the Voiceitt Chrome Extension.
Our technology allows users to communicate with other individuals or interact with voice-activated technologies by voice for everyday personal and professional tasks. Here are some examples:
Voiceitt is built to understand spontaneous non-standard speech even if the specific words you are saying were not pre-trained. Voiceitt's recognition accuracy varies and depends on the individual's unique speech patterns. The best way to find out how well Voiceitt will work for you is to try it!
Our technology is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate speech impairments and can offer up to three times better recognition rates compared to standard recognition software.
Voiceitt can be used on any device connected to the internet that can open a web browser. This includes smartphones, laptops, desktop computers, iPads, and tablets.
Your use of Voiceitt is stored and used to continue improving Voiceitt’s performance for you. Your recordings are de-identified and linked to an anonymous ID. Only the Voiceitt Customer Success team members can link your recordings to your email and Personal Identifiable Information (PII). If you delete your account, your PII is deleted from the Voiceitt database. For more information about Voiceitt's security and privacy, visit: https://www.voiceitt.com/legal/privacy
Voiceitt and its underlying speech recognition technology are designed to support individuals with non-standard speech. It is also designed to be accessible for individuals with motor control challenges, such as dexterity or visual impairments.
The Voiceitt community is diverse, and we are still learning new ways that Voiceitt can benefit people in our community. Voiceitt users may have a variety of underlying conditions that may impact their speech. Some of these conditions include
In short, Voiceitt is generally optimal for:
Children under the age of 13 will require a signed parental consent form. At sign-up, a parent or guardian should input the child’s date of birth and complete the registration process. The parent will receive an email containing the consent form to sign and return to Voiceitt for approval of the child’s account. Once Voiceitt releases the child’s account, the parent will receive another email informing them to log back into the account and have the child begin recording their voice.
Voiceitt is built to understand verbal individuals with non-standard speech. The app's recognition rate varies and depends on the individual's unique speech patterns. The best way to find out how well Voiceitt will work for you is to try it!
Voiceitt is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate speech impairments and can offer up to three times better recognition rates compared to standard recognition software.
The first step is to teach Voiceitt your unique speech patterns by Recording phrase cards. Voiceitt requires a minimum of 50 Recordings before Voiceitt is ready for you to try. Voiceitt will continue to learn as you use it, and you should continue recording to enhance Voiceitt's understanding of your speech. including Personalized vocabulary cards to teach Voiceitt your unique vocabulary (e.g. proper nouns or school/work jargon). Shortcuts allow you to say a unique word or phrase to have Voiceitt Speak a longer message. Give it a try! We provide a free 30-day trial for you to train, test all of the features, and learn if Voiceitt fits you. Reach out to our speech-language pathologist at support@voiceitt.com.
Remember - 50 recordings are just the beginning , for better results keep recording to continue teaching Voiceitt your speech patterns.
Once the first 50 phrases have been recorded, our generic Voiceitt speech recognizer is unlocked but not yet trained with your unique speech. You can familiarized yourself with Voiceitt's functions and features. After about two hours, your customized speech recognizer will be ready to use. Voiceitt has just begun to learn your speech. Recognition accuracy will steadily improve as you use and train it.
The levels indicate 2 main things:
1. The number of recordings you have recorded so far, and how many more recordings you need to update your personal voice profile. Everytime you complete a level, your voice profile will be updated and you should see an improvement in recognition accuracy.
2. The level of Voiceitt's expected ability to understand you.
Once you've past a level, you will be shown the next level.
You may chose to continue to the next level or remain at your current level if you're pleased with Voiceitt's ability to understand you. Everyone must record a minimum of 50 phrases.
The levels are:
Level 1: 50 recordings
level 2: 50-100
Level 3: 100-200
Level 4: 100-200
Level 5: 200-400
Level 5: 400-600
Level 6: 600-800
Level 7: 800-1000
Level 8: 1000+
At the completion of each level, check if you're happy with Voiceitt's recognition. Go to speak/dictate mode and speak freely.
If you would like to improve Voiceitt's ability to understand you, you can contiue to the next level.
If Voiceitt understands you well, then there's no need to record more phrases. Don't worry, Voiceitt will continue improving the more you use it in speak and dictate modes.
No, You may add as many recordings as you need.
If adding more rcordings does not seem to improve Voiceitt's accuracy, you might consider to stop adding training recordings. Instead, try using "speak"\"dictate" mode, and send us an email that specifies what Voiceitt recognized wring. Simply send the corrections in text to support@voiceitt.com, or to the "contact us" section in the menu.
