A Micro-Business Incubator That Allows Autistic People to Monetise Their Special Interests

The proposed micro-business incubator would provide support, guidance and resources for autistic people to monetise a special interest. The incubator would start with the autistic person's special interest and their particular strengths. Then they will work through a series of structured sessions to help them develop that special interest into a working micro-business that can generate sufficient income for their needs. For example, a person who loves poetry finds out that they can use their poetry writing skills to create personalised gifts for birthdays, weddings and anniversaries.

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/
