Introducing Project Ensemble
your opportunity to help build life changing voice tech
Get a $100 Amazon gift card by helping us assist Voiceitt in making voice technology accessible and inclusive.
“Sorry I didn’t understand that” responds Alexa after you make a voice request to play your favorite song. I’m sure you have experienced this while trying to communicate with your smart speaker device.
Imagine if you had a speech impairment that has prevented these devices from understanding you. Voiceitt is solving this problem with the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence; which will open the world of voice recognition for all!
Disability Cocoon is committed to helping Voiceitt find 1,000 people with speech impairments who are willing to “donate their voice” to assist Voiceitt in further refining this cutting-edge technology.
What is Voiceitt?
See how Voiceitt is giving Nat more independence. Every day.
