WorldTalk provides on-demand, interactive information and voice services to people in rural communities in developing countries, in their own language and over any phone.

In places where access to information is limited and literacy levels are low there is a strong need for easy-to-use audio services in local languages.

About World Talk

Telephones require little maintenance and no training. They are increasingly accessible and affordable to large numbers of people, including those in rural areas and developing countries. Caller anonymity provided by a telephone strongly improves access for women and youth, thus genuinely empowering them.

About World Talk
The information WorldTalk provides is internet-based, can be accessed via any telephone and can be easily updated centrally and remotely. WorldTalk has developed its own system using proven voice portal technologies, with a unique development application in mind. This way we will be able to supply access to information across the population in developing countries, without extensive new infrastructure development or computer literacy training.
