100% of the phone network requires audio.
For over 700,000 people in Chile (and 1.5 billion worldwide), a simple emergency, medical, or work call is an insurmountable barrier.
The tyranny of time
Calls demand responses in under 2 seconds. Prolonged silence means they hang up on you.
Lack of autonomy
Depending on a family member, friend, or human interpreter to schedule an appointment or do personal paperwork.
Insufficient solutions
Current apps require fast internet, force you to use virtual numbers, or share your audio to the cloud.
We automate sensory translation.
ReadVC replaces your phone's standard call screen, processing all audio locally without sending it to the internet.
Local Transcription
We convert audio to text in under 200ms right on your screen. Understands local slang.
Text Response
You type your response as if you were on WhatsApp. You control exactly what you say.
Voice Synthesis
We inject your text converted into neural voice directly into the call, flowing naturally.
100% Offline
We use Edge AI (Rust/Kotlin models). Works without a data plan, safeguarding your absolute privacy.
This is what autonomy looks like.
A familiar interface designed to reduce cognitive stress during the call.
A call comes in
You see who is calling on screen and decide whether to answer. Total control over privacy.
ReadVC answers for you
An automatic greeting warns: "Hello, I am hard of hearing. I'm using ReadVC, a text-to-speech assistant, I'll take a moment to answer..." (Adjustable auto message).
You read and reply
What they say appears as text in real time. You write your reply with predictive typing help.
They hear your voice
Your text is instantly converted to natural voice. For the other side, the conversation flows normally.

ReadVC's founder and creator, Hernán Espinoza, is an IT Engineer and AWS Certified Developer with over 10 years of technical experience. He lives with profound bilateral hearing loss and knows firsthand what it means to struggle to make a call, the loss of job opportunities, and the frustrating reliance on third parties.
ReadVC was born out of a personal need to solve the problem for thousands. It is not a market hypothesis; it is a 100% exclusive dedication to restoring autonomy through Artificial Intelligence (Edge AI), also serving as his university Capstone Project.
Our Mission
To break the barrier of silence in phone communications. We want 700 thousand people in Chile—and more than 430 million in the world—to be able to answer a call, express themselves, and feel that the world hears them, without relying on third parties and without compromising their privacy.
Our Vision
A world where hearing loss or speech difficulties are no barrier to communication. ReadVC is the bridge that transforms every phone into an accessible, decentralized terminal centered on the dignity of those who use it.
