Care Givers and Consumers

Despite all the new and exciting options for communicating the phone continues to be the preferred device for personal, business and social communicating. While text based methods of communicating are very effective they lack the immediacy, aural colour and intimacy of a phone call.

Sitris provides an instant low cost solution to the problem of speaking on the telephone. People of all ages who have reduced or no voice can benefit from Sitris. Care givers do not need to relay intimate or personal conversations. The person themselves can order goods, book tickets, transfer funds or have a dialog with a family member without any assistance. Sitris delivers high quality natural text to speech voices and an easy to use web interface. If you can use the web you can use Sitris.
