Mainstream technology is designed for the statistical majority. Inclusion Vault builds for everyone else, open, affordable, offline, and genuinely yours.
For people whose needs sit outside the centre, people with atypical speech, progressive sight loss, neurodivergent thinking patterns, non-standard accents, or simply a device that behaves unexpectedly in a moment when they need it most, the gap between "technology exists" and "technology works for me" can be enormous.
Inclusion Vault is a proposed Community Interest Company. Its purpose is to design, build, and distribute tools that close that gap. Not by lobbying technology companies to do better. By building the tools ourselves, from off-the-shelf parts, at a cost anyone can afford, with nothing to install and nothing sent to the cloud.
Under £200 to build. Software costs nothing.
All designs and code published for individual and charitable use. Commercial use without permission is not permitted.
Works offline. Tames online use. Uses web resources only when you choose.
Your data never leaves your device without your choice.
Standard parts. Open designs. Fix it yourself.
Every project starts from a real, documented need. Not assumption.
"Nothing about us without us."
We do not assume we know what you need. We build what we needed ourselves and ask whether it might be useful to you.
Your screen, read aloud. Whatever app.
A small box. A cable. One button. Whatever is on your screen gets read aloud, regardless of the app, regardless of whether the app has implemented accessibility correctly. Built from off-the-shelf parts for under £130.

Voice-to-text was trained on the statistical centre of human speech. If your voice sits outside that centre, no setting fixes it. useMYvoice benchmarks how well current systems can be trained to hear atypical voices, and publishes honest results.
Read more about useMYvoice →Protection from AI that ignores how you actually need to communicate.
AI assistants are optimised for the majority. They guess before they listen, format responses for sighted readers, and redirect conversations you were already leading. Your preferences belong to you — not to whichever platform you happen to be using today.
Taster live now, full working demo coming soon, hardware specs to follow.
Explore use of IntentShield →Has technology failed you at the worst possible time? I would like to hear about it.
There is no form. Send an email, a voice note, or a WhatsApp message, whatever suits you. No required format and no minimum length.
The IntentShield web demo is coming first. Then useMYvoice benchmarks. Then ReadForce kits. No marketing. Just a message when something is ready.
