Share Your Voice with the Speech Accessibility Project

The University of Illinois’s Speech Accessibility Project, with Lingraphica and other leaders as partners, has one goal: to improve speech technology for people with a range of diverse speech patterns and disabilities.

And we need your help.

By joining this study, you’ll contribute to groundbreaking research that aims to improve voice recognition for people with speech conditions. This is your chance to shape the future and ensure technology is accessible to everyone.

Who Are We Looking For?

You will be paid up to $180. Your helper can earn up to $90.
