Problem
Individuals with voice disorders, such as those resulting from vocal cord paralysis, laryngectomy, or spasmodic dysphonia, and those who stutter severely, often struggle with clear and effortless communication in daily life. Current assistive communication technologies often introduce delays that hinder natural conversation flow. This can lead to social isolation and reduced productivity in both personal and professional settings.
Solution
Whispp provides an AI-powered assistive voice technology that converts whispered and vocal cord-impaired speech into clear, natural-sounding voice in real-time. The mobile application allows users to make calls and send voice messages without delay, fostering more natural and engaging conversations. Whispp's language-independent technology adapts to various voice types, from soft whispers to rough esophageal speech, and offers users the option to select from predefined voices or create a personalized voice profile. By providing recordings of their healthy voice, users can recreate their unique vocal identity within the app, enhancing their sense of connection and self-expression.
