ROK Talk Products and Technologies

Our core products are ROKTalk and ROKTalk Plus. Both versions of ROKTalk offer the same broad range of accessibility-enhancing functions, centred around making web text talk in real time.

ROKTalk Plus includes our groundbreaking spoken translation feature. Remarkably, this allows you to hear a website spoken to you instantly in another language.

We are also actively developing an exciting mobile handset offering, to bring the benefits of high-quality service-delivered text to speech to the phone market.
