"This entire sector needs a shake-up"
Among users of Voiceitt is Colin Hughes, a former BBC producer turned accessibility advocate. Living with muscular dystrophy, Hughes relies on dictation for his digital interactions, making him acutely aware of both the potential and kra9.cc limitations of current technologies. Hughes has used Voiceitt to compose emails and dictate longer written pieces.

"I found Voiceitt’s app to be impressively accurate with my atypical speech, and its training and setup process was straightforward," Hughes said, though he highlighted critical gaps for professional users. "Many people with impaired speech and upper-limb disabilities need more than just speech-to-text," he noted.

He advocates for features like voice-driven cursor control and improved dictation recognition for drafting long-form content, saying that Voiceitt works best for single-sentence messages.

Hughes stresses a need for more comprehensive speech-recognition tech that lets users do things like manage emails and format documents using their voice.

He sees a future where technology plays a bigger role in accessibility, adding: "This entire sector needs a shake-up. Voiceitt, with better access to major platforms, could be the one to lead this change."
