Speak naturally. Be understood clearly.
Helping you be understood, not just heard
DysVoxa Neurospeech Platform converts dysarthric speech into intelligible, identity-preserving output in real time and routes it to your virtual microphone for Zoom, Teams, Meet, and more.
Core signal path
Mic input -> Voice Activity Detection (VAD) -> Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) -> Dysarthria correction -> Text-to-Speech (TTS) -> Virtual microphone
Important notice
- This tool is not presented as a miracle and does not replace clinical care.
- At the time of writing, it works for the founder in practical day-to-day communication use.
- Founder context: diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) at age 45, with partial cerebellar atrophy, and light-to-moderate dysarthria.
- Symptom profiles vary significantly across people; outcomes are individual and may differ from founder outcomes.
- This project is intended as a communication helper for people with dysarthria and other speech impairments.
Why DysVoxa matters
Dysarthria affects millions globally—from stroke and Parkinson's survivors to people with ALS, cerebral palsy, and cerebellar ataxia. The problem is real and urgent:
The Communication Gap
Standard speech AI systems fail on dysarthric patterns. Existing solutions either don't work or erase speaker identity, leaving people isolated in work and healthcare settings.
The Real Impact
Difficulty being understood triggers communication anxiety, social withdrawal, and barriers to employment and medical care access. The psychological toll compounds the neurological one.
Recovery Window
After stroke or brain injury, neuroplasticity creates a recovery window. Real-time communication support during that period can reduce isolation and support rehabilitation outcomes.
Identity-Preserving Tech
Most assistive speech tech depersonalizes users. DysVoxa works differently: it improves clarity while protecting personal communication style and voice identity.
This is not about "fixing" dysarthria. It's about restoring access—to work, to healthcare, to relationships—during a critical window when both technology and clinical support matter most.
Clinical collaboration
Review pilot protocol and intelligibility metrics. SLP involvement is limited to app testing.

Current project state
- Core codebase is active and evolving with ongoing real-time pipeline improvements.
- Personal voice card profile creation is currently in progress.
- System is being tested locally with practical speech scenarios.
- Progress is currently constrained by available hardware capacity.
- Funding is actively being sought to scale development and validation.
