The European Disability Forum outlines the way the Disability Rights Strategy will benefit those with disabilities.

This strategy has the potential to change the lives of people with disabilities throughout the EU, by benefiting them in areas like employment and social services.

Hopefully, this will inspire other regions outside the EU to implement similar strategies and improve society for everyone. No one should be left behind.

Technology Gives a Voice to Those with Speech Disabilities

Based on machine learning and speech recognition algorithms, the AI-powered Voiceitt platform is designed to recognize and translate speech by people with an underlying medical condition, disability or age-related condition that means their speech is hard to understand. The Voiceitt platform is web-based, which means that it can be accessed from any internet-connected device without having to download a program or app. It works either as voice to text or voice to synthesized speech, with the latter allowing the user to speak in person in real time, as part of a face-to-face conversation, or in a virtual, online meeting. https://nocamels.com/2024/01/ai-technology-gives-a-voice-to-those-with-speech-disabilities/
