Project Description

With The Roddenberry Fellowship, AccesSOS will execute our go-to market plan for our mobile web app. For any emergency, 911 is the go-to phone call for all of us in the USA, except for the 37 million Americans who can’t hear or speak out loud. Our free mobile web app instantly translates text to a 911 phone call with the relevant information, in real time, at scale, in multiple languages.
