Speechly is building developer tools for making applications smarter with voice functionalities. Our unique approach enables real-time visual feedback from the moment the user starts speaking. This allows the user to verify that their input is correctly understood, encouraging them to go on with the voice experience or enabling them to correct themselves in case of an error.
