Whispp
An app from Leiden that converts soft or strained speech during conversations into a clearer voice.
About
Whispp converts whispered, soft, or unclear speech into a clearer-sounding voice in near real-time. This can help people with voice disorders or severe stuttering during phone and video calls. In a user test by Parkinson's UK, half of six participants sounded louder and clearer after four weeks; for others, the app did not suit their condition well. Price and calling capabilities may also be a barrier.
AI factor
An audio-to-audio model reconstructs the voice without first transcribing the conversation into text. The user chooses whether a standard voice or a personal voice is most intelligible.
