This joint SIG meeting is aimed at vendors of assistive technology who are interested in integrating Voiceitt's unique AAC driven speech-to-text technology into their own solution.

About Voiceitt

Voiceitt is a unique speech recognition technology that enables individuals with non-standard speech to use their own voice to communicate with others!

Voiceitt was created in collaboration with people living with speech disabilities and speech-language pathologists, as an accessible and inclusive Voice AI solution.

Everyone’s speech is as unique as our fingerprints. To begin, train Voiceitt with 200 recordings of your unique speech patterns.  The more you use Voiceitt, the better it gets at understanding you! Voiceitt is an Augmentative Alternative Communication(AAC) tool for communicating with others and an Assistive Technology(AT) tool for dictation, home automation, and more.

Attend this meeting to learn more about the assistive technology market in South Africa. We will be joined by Pieter Labuschagne, Managing Director of Edit Microsystems, a leading assistive technology reseller within this region; serving the education, workplace and independent living sectors. Pieter will be answering questions on exporting opportunities within this territory.

Join us to discuss how Government grant programmes such as the Disabled Student Allowance and Access to Work has enabled the UK to become a  great incubator for a number of assistive technology companies, making the UK one of the leading global players within the ATech industry. 

Looking at new markets to export to, Canada may provide companies with new opportunities, with similar funding programmes for students with permanent disabilities. 

For this meeting, we will be joined by the Canadian export specialist, Mary Ellen Cotter, Head of Critical Supply Chains  at Department for Business & Trade. Mary is based at the British Consulate in Montreal and will present on how the department can help exporters to Canada, as well as key considerations when selling in this market.
