Controlling how a voice performs

Developers can adjust delivery at the word level instead of accepting a flat reading of a script. The technology supports character voices, creative production and conversational applications through open models and hosted APIs.

Building the rest of the audio stack

The company plans an audio understanding language model and speech-to-speech models. It will expand enterprise sales, strengthen API tooling and deepen integrations with LiveKit and Retell.

Where the funding goes

  • Audio understanding and speech-to-speech models
  • Enterprise sales hiring
  • Developer tooling and integrations
