Our innovation relies on proprietary technologies—speech recognition, text-to-speech, NLP, and voice biometrics—all developed 100% in-house. With extensive expertise in managing textual and audio data, we've created diverse assets, offering capabilities like intent detection, named entity recognition (NER), emotion recognition, sentiment analysis, language detection, audio spoofing detection, text summarization, and more. We closely track the latest advancements, adopting an agile approach to integrate new technologies and language models for continuous enhancement.
Our dedicated R&D team explores new frontiers in AI and speech technologies, pushing innovation boundaries. Beyond pioneering solutions, we prioritize safeguarding our outcomes through robust Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) strategies.
We currently hold 12 patents and have published over 70 works.
