Joris Castermans, CEO of Whispp, recognized that whispering could improve fluency for individuals who stutter. By painstakingly creating a dataset of spoken and whispered phrases, he developed an AI model that converts whispered speech into clear, coherent speech in real time.
The Whispp app, launched in January, enables users with severe stuttering or voice disabilities to communicate effectively on phone calls, boasting remarkably low latency of under half a second. This technological advancement significantly enhances their daily interactions and professional engagements.
Castermans is aware of the potential for broader applications of Whispp's technology. The company is actively pursuing development for video call capabilities and aims to facilitate smoother communication in face-to-face conversations as well.
