1st Place Winner - YuvAI
India AI Impact Summit
Awarded seed funding, among 2500+ entries from 38 countries.
An AI-powered assistive device focused on impaired speech recognition. Designed to be radically affordable, simple, and accurate, so that more people can be heard.
Disorders like dysarthria, presbyphonia and others make it difficult for people to form, pronounce or project words effectively. These conditions can result from stroke, paralysis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, or simply age-related changes. They create a significant communication barrier in everyday life that affects millions of people.
Paraspeak is a real-time speech recognition and enhancement system built to help people with a range of speech and voice disorders. It records atypical or impaired speech, runs it through a deep learning model, and plays out clear speech, all in a small, affordable, IoT-enabled device.
Paraspeak also focuses on under-researched languages and low-resource settings, making it accessible to those who need it most.

Please note that Paraspeak is a research prototype. We're seeking early testers and clinical-trial partners, and are currently on the journey of scaling up this system into a mass-produced assistive device.
