VoiceCorp has pioneered the next-generation Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology without the need to download or install software.   Their technology is specifically designed to increase the accessibility of web sites.This is especially significant given that 20% to 40% of the adult population suffers from some sort of reading disability.

With regard to the U.S.:
•    Poor readers make up 20% of the US population (Approximately 60 Million people)
•    Over 10% of the US population are “functionally illiterate” (Approximately 30 Million people - Source : Dyslexia, the gift)
•    14 million are visually impaired (Source : National Eye Institute)
•    28.4 million foreign-born people reside in the US (National Institute for Literacy, 2000)

Over 3000 customers use our web-based speech-enabling applications to enhance the user experience or increase the accessibility to web content for everybody that rather listens than reads.
