SPEECH

Speech is the vocalized form of human communication. It is based upon the syntactic combination of lexicals and names that are drawn from very large (usually about 1,000 different words) vocabularies.

The ability to use speech to communicate is arguably the primary reason for the evolutionary success of the human race. Perfect hearing solutions extend the power of speech to revolutionise human-machine interaction.

At Perfect Hearing we are focused on helping transform the consumer service experience and design and deliver technology solutions to do just that. Our solutions harness the power of natural speech to help you build enterprise class service delivery platforms that address real consumer problems.
