Speech Code Produktsicherheits GmbH
The Speech Code technology enables the easy and cost-effective production of “talking labels”:
Speech Codes are 2D coloured data matrix codes containing speech information. Users scan the codes OFFLINE with the free App “Speech Code”. The content is shown on the display, read out at the same time and automatically stored in the App.
Printed “Information Codes” for continuous text contain up to 40 MINUTES of speech output in over 40 languages.
