According to ReadSpeaker, the company was selected as a partner for the F-35 training module due to several factors including its experience in the voice technology space.

ReadSpeaker has prior experience of working in classified environments and is capable of providing necessary customisation and end-user licensing agreements, which are important in this partnership.

Additionally, the company offers worldwide support that will ensure the availability of the technology and necessary assistance for all F-35 users.

Last month, Collins Aerospace and the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) established an F-35 pilot readiness centre in the Netherlands.

The first of its kind outside the US, the centre will provide helmet fitting, calibration, centrifuge, flight simulators and altitude chamber training to the pilots.
