For users & caregivers
Clearer speech for everyday communication
DysVoxa is a desktop app for Windows and Linux that helps people with dysarthria and other speech impairments be understood. Speak naturally, and DysVoxa can turn that phrase into clearer spoken output - all on your own computer, with nothing sent to the cloud.
What DysVoxa is designed to do
If you have dysarthria - from stroke, Parkinson's, ALS, ataxia, cerebral palsy, or another condition - you know what it's like when people can't understand you. DysVoxa gives you a tool to be understood more reliably, on your terms.
You stay in control
You decide when to record each phrase. No continuous listening, no always-on microphone.
Your voice stays private
Everything runs on your PC. No audio is ever sent to a server. Your biometric voice data is yours alone.
Works where you need it
Output goes to your speakers or a virtual microphone - use it in Zoom, phone calls, or face-to-face.
What using DysVoxa feels like
Using DysVoxa is simple. Here's what a typical interaction looks like:
1. You speak
Press record, say your phrase naturally, then stop. You control the timing completely.
2. It understands
DysVoxa transcribes what you said - on your computer, not in the cloud.
3. It refines
If the transcription has errors, DysVoxa can improve the text locally before speaking it.
4. It speaks clearly
A clear synthesized voice speaks your words - through speakers or directly into calls.
What to know before trying it
- DysVoxa is currently a Windows and Linux desktop beta, not a phone app.
- It works one phrase at a time; you decide when to record and when to stop.
- Speech recognition is not perfect, especially with severe speech impairment or noisy rooms.
- Keep another communication method available for urgent or safety-critical situations.
For caregivers and family
If you support someone with dysarthria, you've seen the frustration: repeating themselves, being talked over, avoiding conversations. DysVoxa can help the person you care for:
- Stay in phone calls and video chats without the exhaustion of constant repetition
- Speak for themselves in medical appointments, rather than having someone else answer
- Participate in group conversations where fast turn-taking normally leaves them behind
- Maintain independence in communication - on their own computer, with their own voice
DysVoxa is not a replacement for human connection. It's a tool that helps the person you care about stay connected on their own terms.
Why on-device processing matters
Many speech tools send your voice to the cloud. DysVoxa doesn't.
- Speech recognition runs entirely on your Windows PC
- Your voice recordings never leave your device
- No account required for core features
- No telemetry or tracking in the current beta
- Works offline - no internet connection needed for speech processing
Who DysVoxa is designed for
DysVoxa is designed for dysarthria from any cause, and for other situations where speech clarity is affected by illness, injury, surgery, medication, or medical treatment:
- Dysarthria from stroke
- Parkinson's disease
- ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Cerebral palsy
- Ataxia (including spinocerebellar ataxia)
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Multiple sclerosis
- Speech affected by medical treatments or surgery
- Other motor speech conditions that reduce intelligibility
