Ever more "interesting" applications of speech technology combined with LLMs... Sometimes, just sometimes, in-person can provide more hiring signal than online interviews

Creating moments of delight for users through bugs rather than features. Need to raise a support ticket with Speechmatics to add this to our service

I recorded part of the intro of my book, Impromptu, in three ways: One is speech-to-speech done by @Respeecher. Another is text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) by Microsoft. And another is yours truly. Can you tell which one features my real voice? (All audio clips in 🧵)

Two out of three using speech technology… As meatloaf might say, that ain’t bad.

Absolute genius use of AI

I’ve actually been on both sides of this fence…

Wow - this is a very exciting development! Congrats to everyone involved! And well done to anyone who predicted 2023 would be a big year for multimodal LLMs! Look at those benchmark stats!!

You know you’re the best when your second best on all your competitors websites…

Feels about right

It’s been a great year to join Speechmatics! Oh, and we’re just getting started…

This stuff is insanely good

Great fun on Unaligned podcast chatting to Robert Scoble on all things speech intelligence with Speechmatics The human mind struggles with exponential trajectories, and a lot can happen in 2 years…

Thanks Robert Scoble for taking the time to chat about Speechmatics vision for Understanding Every Voice. The future is much closer than we think, and I’m excited for how Speechmatics can contribute to ensuring everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the ride…

It was a joy to talk to Neil C. Hughes about how Speechmatics is tackling inclusivity in speech recognition to ‘Understand Every Voice’, and share a little more on our sample efficient approach to AI in general. Thanks Neil for taking the time to chat!

Massive congrats to @McHughes288 and the whole team on achieving a Best Paper Award #ICML2024 !
