Voiceuses Google AI to help save you time by blocking spam calls and transcribing voicemails to text automatically. Integrations with Google Meet and Calendar help keep the focus on what's important.
Our sales team now uses Google Voice to call and text customers from their smartphones, tablets, and the web. And because it is considerably more affordable to operate than our legacy VoIP systems, we continue to steadily expand our usage of Google Voice.
Google Voice gives you a phone number for calls, texts, and voicemails. You can use this number to make domestic and international calls from your web browser and mobile devices. If you're in the US, you can choose your own number.
On September 8th, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit Morocco with devastating effects. Meanwhile, on September 10th, Mediterranean Storm Daniel brought heavy rainfall and flooding to eastern Libya, causing large-scale destruction as a result of two dams collapsing south of the city of Derna. These events will have profound and far-reaching impacts on lives and livelihoods in months and years to come.
VOICE calls on international NGOs and the international community to devote more attention to the situation in Syria and to raise their voices in support of the women and girls who are at great risk. It is imperative that their voices are heard and that their fundamental rights are preserved, especially in the aftermath of this disaster.
In August 2021, as the Taliban took over Kabul, the international community evacuated thousands of Afghan women human rights defenders whose lives were at risk. These women and their families were taken to countries such as Turkey, Greece, Albania, and Qatar while their resettlement processes began. More than a year later, many of them are still in transit. Many of their family members are still in Afghanistan; their friends and colleagues are dispersed around the world in search of safety and security; and their lives are seemingly on hold.
Food insecurity is a growing issue impacting the lives of refugee women and girls in Hungary, according to a new report produced by VOICE and in collaboration with local partners throughout the country. The report is based on data and stories collected from refugee women and girls at food distribution sites and from the local organizations working tirelessly to serve them.
VOICE is a student-run organization that seeks to increase awareness, respect, and sensitivity to differences among all individuals and communities in the field of veterinary medicine. VOICE also aims to celebrate diversity within our profession, to encourage campus environments that embrace diversity and promote the success of all students, and to emphasize the importance of cross-cultural awareness in veterinary medicine in order to meet the needs of our diversifying clientele. Lastly, in order to ensure a more diverse future for veterinary medicine, VOICE chapters provide leadership and mentorship to youth, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, who are interested in careers as veterinarians.
In each of these regards, we feel that there is a gap in the curriculum of American veterinary colleges, and that it is therefore the duty of VOICE to partner with the colleges to fill this gap in the curriculum by offering promotional and financial support for educational, social, and service events that elevate the topics of diversity and inclusion in the discourse of our profession.
We are a unified, student-led voice that contributes to the enhancement of diversity in the profession and to the cultural competency of veterinary students. We plan to work with the AVMA, SAVMA, and AAVMC regarding these issues as they relate to the veterinary profession.
In the future, VOICE hopes to establish a chapter at every veterinary college, to create a diverse national network of mentors in the various fields of veterinary medicine, and to establish a scholarship fund that will reward veterinary students for showing outstanding leadership and commitment in the area of diversity. With the participation of our student members, support from our colleges and the commitment to making an impact on the profession, VOICE is excited for what is to come for us in the future!
The Voice of Witness Book Series depicts human rights issues through the edited oral histories of people who are deeply impacted and whose lived experiences are at the heart of finding solutions to address injustice. We use an ethics-driven methodology that combines journalistic integrity and an engaging, literary approach.
The Voice of Witness education program brings unheard stories and oral history to classrooms across the US, centering marginalized voices and connecting students with training and tools for storytelling.

The AIY Voice Kit from Google lets you build your own natural language processor and connect it to the Google Assistant or Cloud Speech-to-Text service, allowing you to ask questions and issue voice commands to your programs. All of this fits in a handy little cardboard cube, powered by a Raspberry Pi.
Although the microSD card included with your kit is pre-flashed with the AIY system image, it's out of date. So before you begin, we highly recommend you download and install the latest system image and flash it to your microSD card. Otherwise, you might encounter some old bugs and some of the sample code might not work for you.
What are these boards for?The Raspberry Pi circuit board is small but mighty computer. The Voice Bonnet adds 2 microphones, a speaker connector, an LED button connector, and a special audio codec processor.
WARNING: First make sure your Raspberry Pi is disconnected from any power source and other components. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, serious injury, death, fire or damage to your board or other components and equipment.
Align the header connector with the pin header on the Raspberry Pi, then press down to connect the headers. Firmly push on the other side of the Voice Bonnet to snap the standoffs into place. Push near the standoffs, not in the center of the board.
Take your speaker and find the red and black wires attached to it. Insert the red wire into the bottom slot of the left-most terminal and gently push it in as far as you can. Do the same for the black wire in the second terminal from the left.
WARNING: Forcing connectors into misaligned ports may result in loose or detached connectors. Loose wires in the box can cause electric shock, shorts, or start a fire, which can lead to serious injury, death or damage to property.
There are two ways to connect your kit to Wi-Fi and get an IP AddressThe Internet Protocol Address is a four-segment number that identifies a device on a network. Every device on your network - your computer, phone, your Voice Kit - will have a unique IP Address. Using this address, one device can talk to another., depending on what you have available. There are two options for connecting, explained in Meet your kit.
Do I need to change my password?You'll want to change the Raspberry Pi user's password if you plan on using this kit in a project that is exposed to the open internet. It's not safe to expose it with a password everybody knows. If you plan on doing this, you'll want to use the passwd program. This is an advanced step, so for the purposes of this guide, we will assume you haven't changed the password for the Raspberry Pi user.
Using your mouse, click on the Wi-Fi connection icon at the bar at the top right of the screen. Look for your Wi-Fi network name (also known as an SSID) and click on it. If you have a password, a dialog will appear asking for the pre-shared keyThis is just a fancy way of saying password and is borrowed from the Wi-Fi security standards. Pre-shared just means the password was given to you before you attempted to connect.. Enter your password here and click OK.
You can find it by hovering over the Wi-Fi icon. It will look something like 192.168.0.0 or 10.0.0.0 and prefixed with wlan0Linux uses acronyms like wlan0 as names for network devices connected to your computer. In this case, the wlan part stands for Wireless Local Area Network and the 0 means it's the first device Linux identified. In this case, we want the IP address assigned to the wlan0 device, which is why we looked for it in the tooltip.
In the top field, type
p...@192.168.0.0, but replacing those numbers with the real IP address of your Raspberry Pi. After typing this in, click on the port field. The [ENTER] Connect button should light up.
NoteIf you rewrite or replace your SD card, you will need to remove and add the Secure Shell Extension from Chrome. You can do this by right clicking on the icon in your toolbar and selecting Remove, then re-add it by following the instructions above.
