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.
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.

Yes. Voiceitt will only work while online, so internet access is required.
The first step is to teach Voiceitt your unique speech patterns by Recording phrase cards. Voiceitt requires 200 Recordings before Voiceitt is ready for you to try. Voiceitt will continue to learn as you use it, and you can also continue to record more cards, 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.
Are the training sentences too long or complex to record? We have different levels of training phrase sets:
Simple Language: Includes words that are simple and easy in 3-7 word phrases.
Short: 1-2 word phrases
Medium: 3-4 word phrase
Default: 1-8 word phrase
We recommend trying the default level first and if changes are necessary. You can pause during longer phrases as needed or click 'next' to skip any phrase. Email us to change phrase sets at support@voiceitt.com.
In Record mode, you can click the "hands-free' icon and select what you'd like to automate. In Speak or Dictate modes, you can use keyboard shortcuts, or use a switch. In “Dictate mode” you can use a variety of voice commands such as “stop listening', "copy" and "paste. However, there is no way to use your voice to wake the microphone.
Once 200 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.
In Voiceitt’s Speak mode, every sentence is automatically played aloud in a computerized voice. In Dictate mode the text can be read aloud by pressing the “play” button.
Our Customer Support team is here to assist you along the way and listen to your feedback. Click on the “menu” button on the top right corner of your screen. You may type in your message, or dictate it by voice. Support will email you their response within 24 hours. You can also email us directly at support@voiceitt.com.
No, you will need to complete your recordings first. Voiceitt’s technology creates personalized recognition for your unique voice, allowing Voiceitt to work better than other speech-to-text services. Once Voiceitt is trained on your unique speech, the Voiceitt web app will notify you that it is ready.
In Speak mode, interact with Chat GPT AI technology using your voice! Whether you want to ask questions, get information, or have a fun chat, you can do it all with Voiceitt!

Teach Voiceitt the words that matter most to you. Proper nouns like the name of your dog or your street. Go to Record mode -> Personal Vocabulary -> Add Personal Phrase -> type in a desired word or phrase -> add -> record it once. It takes a few hours for Voiceitt to learn from your recording. Watch this tutorial on adding Personal Vocabulary.
Shortcut phrases allow you to convey a lengthy message by saying a shorter phrase. For example, you can say "Burger" and Voiceitt will say, "I'd like a burger with tomatoes and lettuce please”. You can set up your shortcuts under Record mode → Shortcut Phrases → Add Shortcut Phrase. Watch this Shorcuts Tutorial
