Voice and audio frontier — the production stack for synthetic speech.
What it is.
London-and-New-York voice-AI house. v3 leads on emotion control and prosody. Distributed through web, API, and SDKs. Used in production at Spotify, Audible-adjacent imprints, every major language-learning app, and the Trump 2024 deepfake response cycle that put the company on every newsdesk.
Where it fits.
Anywhere a human voice was the bottleneck. Dubbing studios that used to ship 30 days now ship 30 hours. Customer support teams replacing IVR vendors that have not shipped a new release since 2018. Audiobook production at scale for publishers with backlog inventory.
- Industry-leading emotion and prosody control
- Voice cloning from 60 seconds of input
- 29-language dubbing pipeline
- Likeness governance still evolving
- Voice cloning gated behind verification at consumer tier
