TECHNOLOGIES OF VOICE INTERFACE LTD

Their core work

Technologies of Voice Interface develops speech recognition software designed to make verbal communication accessible for people with speech disabilities. Their core product, Talkitt, translates unclear or impaired speech into understandable output, enabling users to communicate freely without intermediaries. More recently, they have expanded into broader voice-activated accessibility technologies under the NUVOIC brand, addressing the growing challenge of ensuring voice-first interfaces (smart speakers, voice assistants) work for everyone, not just typical speakers.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

The company's trajectory shows a clear expansion from a focused assistive tool to a broader accessibility platform. Early work (2016-2019) centered on Talkitt — a specific product enabling speech-disabled individuals to communicate, progressing from feasibility study to full development. By 2020, with NUVOIC, they shifted toward making mainstream voice-activated technologies (smart home devices, voice assistants, automotive interfaces) accessible to users with non-standard speech, reflecting a strategic move from niche assistive tech into the much larger voice-first economy.

Moving from a single assistive product toward becoming a platform provider for accessible voice interfaces across consumer electronics and smart environments.

How they like to work

This is a self-driven SME that exclusively coordinates its own projects — all three H2020 grants were led by them, with only 3 unique consortium partners across 2 countries. They operate in very small teams rather than large consortia, which is typical for product-focused startups using the SME Instrument pathway. Potential partners should expect a company that leads its own roadmap and brings a clear product vision rather than adapting to consortium-driven agendas.

Very small collaboration network: only 3 unique partners across 2 countries, reflecting the solo-SME nature of their funding pathway. Their partnerships appear project-specific rather than part of a broad research network.

What sets them apart

They occupy a rare niche at the intersection of speech recognition AI and disability accessibility — most speech tech companies optimize for typical speakers, while Technologies of Voice Interface specifically builds for atypical speech. Their progression from SME-1 to SME-2 to Innovation Action shows proven ability to mature technology through EU funding stages. For any consortium needing expertise in inclusive voice interfaces or assistive AI, they bring both deep domain knowledge and a real product already in development.
