Just recently, tech-giant showed serious interest in the small Dutch AI startup called Whispp, when the CEO’s met at the CES in Las Vegas. With the app, Dutch entrepreneur Joris Castermans hopes to facilitate telephone communication for vocally impaired people. Designed to make communication easier, Whispp is based on an AI which transforms a whisper into a normal voice in real time.
