Picovoice

Picovoice provides a complete set of modular voice AI engines delivered as cross-platform SDKs and a no-code platform to instantly train bespoke voice AI models. The company offers a transcription engine that converts audio and video recordings into text with high accuracy while maintaining privacy, and a real-time transcription engine that converts conversations into text with zero latency. Picovoice also provides noise cancellation software that removes background noise from audio in real time while preserving human speech, and speaker recognition and identification software that distinguishes individuals using their unique voice characteristics. Additionally, Picovoice develops a speaker diarization engine that identifies ‘who spoke when’ in an audio stream by detecting speaker changes and grouping them, and a search engine that indexes speech directly, enabling keyword and phrase search within audio and video files. The company offers a wake word detection engine that recognizes unique signals to transition software from passive to active listening, and a natural language understanding engine fused with speech-to-text for voice command interactions. Picovoice’s voice activity detection software scans audio streams to identify the presence of human speech in real time, and their voice generator converts written text into spoken audio output without network latency or privacy concerns. The company provides secure and flexible deployment options across embedded, mobile, web browsers, on-premise, and cloud environments. Picovoice’s customizable voice AI models are proven by open-source benchmarks for specialized applications, use cases, domains, and industries. They offer dedicated support through easy-to-follow documentation and an active GitHub community, and a no-code self-service interface to design and train voice AI models quickly. Picovoice also provides cross-platform voice recorders that support real-time audio processing and are simple to use with a few lines of code, available for Python, C, .NET, Node.js, Rust, Golang, web browsers, mobile platforms like Android, iOS, Flutter, React-Native, and Unity. The company offers a free plan for on-device and on-prem deployment with access to accurate, private, and cross-platform voice AI models, as well as developer and enterprise plans with different usage limits and support options. Picovoice provides consulting services to help enterprises adopt their technology quickly and bring their vision to life, and a playground for trying private voice AI models without sending voice data to remote servers. They also offer a streaming text-to-speech engine that reads dynamic LLM responses out loud as they emerge with no latency, and a speech-to-intent engine that infers user intents from utterances for voice interactions. Picovoice’s noise suppression software enhances audio quality across platforms in real time, and their speech-to-index engine makes audio and video archives searchable using phonetic-based keyword search. The company provides a voice AI consulting service for project or application-specific needs and requirements.
