Voice Activating Quality of Life (VoQol) Changing Lives
The VoQoL (Voice Activated Quality of Life) project provides a life-changing improvement in the independence and quality-of-life for people with physical disabilities through use of voice-activated technology.
The VoQoL project allows quadriplegic and paraplegic individuals to control many functions in their living areas, just by using their voice. Coral Tech developed the concept, custom software to stream SA radio stations and an electronic voice remote so that those with speech impediments can also enjoy use of the system. The results have been life-changing for the recipients. Tulethu a resident at Turfhall Cheshire Home, loves “everything” about the VoQol technology as “I don’t need to call carers in, because I can do all the things I need to in my room”.
