Appy Pie Disrupts App Development With Voice Recognition And No-Coding

• The global market for no or low code development tools is expanding to $65 billion U.S. dollars by 2027.
• Capterra-cited “Appy Pie” with 10 million+ downloads announced a new revolutionary “text to App” functionality.
• Employees with disabilities in the digital space are more commonly affected by problems and roadblocks.

The web and app industries are finally seeing an overdue disruption by a major force in the market. By 2024, 80% of technology products and services will be built by those who are not technology professionals. If we have learned anything from the past, it is that technology is moving towards convenience, and no-code platforms give that to their users. The global no-code and low-code platform market is forecast to amount to $65 billion U.S. dollars by 2027.

No-code is here to stay, and if you start using a no-code platform today, you will definitely have found a way to stay ahead of the curve. No-code application development is the future of applications, and it is only going to evolve more in tune with the changing demands of the market.

Abhinav Girdhar, a serial tech entrepreneur and a leading voice in the low and no-code space, is the founder and CEO of Appy Pie. The company has created a development platform which enables individuals and enterprises to create apps with little to no programming abilities. The platform was created to lower the barrier of entry into app development by removing cost, technical knowledge and time constraints.

Android & Iphone App Maker, NFT, Website And Chatbot Builder In One Single Interface:

Appy Pie’s App Maker solution can produce and in some cases publish mobile and web applications using low and no-code technologies and is available for Android and iOS users.

Appy Pie is in the beta stage of a tool which can translate speech into an app. This can subsequently be touched up using a drag and drop menu. This development platform can be beneficial for the disabled and those with little to no technology experience as they allow for apps creation in a more accessible environment.

For A Good Cause: How Voice Recognition Can Level The Playing Field in App Development

Employment for people with disabilities is important but this often goes unaddressed. As a result of this many talented people with disabilities are excluded from traditional employment opportunities. Researchers in this field have noted that, “Although the employment situation of disabled people has widely been identified as in need of improvement, progress in this area remains slow.” They note that progress has been made especially for people with physical or sensory disabilities. However, other types of disabilities have not seen the same level of inclusion.

Disabled workers in the digital industry are particularly affected by the disparity in employment. The academics use, “the case of disabled app developers as a significant example of how the current regulatory framework fails to be inclusive in its attempts to protect the rights of disabled Digital Economy workers.” The authors have pointed out two issues which are at the root of this discrepancy. Firstly, there is a continuous lack of success gathering vital data on disability and secondly, there is a distinct, “lack of accountability towards disabled workers in atypical employment.” The article concludes by calling for policy changes which will increase structural accountability to help disabled employees as well as superior collection of data.

Increasing Access, Decreasing Costs

To summarize, Appy Pie’s mission is to open up access for individuals facing barriers to technology creation.

The platform which Appy Pie has created enables users to create applications without needing to know how to programme. As a result they are making app development more accessible in an attempt to “democratize mobile and web app development”. They are widening the scope of who can be an app developer so that anyone with an idea can develop an app. The result of this is that innovative ideas will not require the same level of financial commitment, workflow management or technical, design or marketing know-how to be able to reach an app store.

Final Thoughts

Appy Pie is an app creation platform with a large and diverse customer base. They are currently in the process of beta testing a “Text to App” tool – that allows users to create applications through verbal commands. This will be supported by a drag and drop template that lets users hone their verbally-driven app. The beta testing has been progressing well with several success stories. Appy Pie is of the opinion that their technology has, “extraordinary implications for opening access to technological achievement for disabled, non-technical individuals and those with limited access to resources.”
