The virtuous circle of universal design

Rupal Patel US, Founder of VocaliD, designs bespoke synthetic voices to give those living with speechlessness a voice that’s uniquely theirs. A life-changing idea that came to Patel exactly 20 years ago after attending a conference in Denmark. The tech visionary now returns to share how her lab spin-out grew to join forces with tech giant Veritone for the common good. Patel is celebrated for her commitment to ethical AI, inclusivity, and accessibility featured in TED, NPR, BBC and many more.
