✨Key Features

• ▸Empathic Voice Interface (EVI): Real-time speech-to-speech AI that detects user emotions from voice (tone, rhythm, timbre), responds with appropriate empathy, natural interruptions, and expressive tones; supports low-latency conversations (<300ms) and integration with external LLMs (e.g., Claude, Grok, GPT).
• ▸Octave Text-to-Speech: Multilingual (11+ languages including English, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic) TTS engine that predicts emotions, cadence, and nuances from text context for studio-quality, expressive audio output.
• ▸Voice Creation Tools: Prompt-based voice design, quick voice cloning (from ~30s recordings), and a library of preset voices for custom personalities, accents, and styles.
• ▸Developer-Friendly APIs/SDKs: Easy integration via WebSocket for real-time apps; configurable behaviors, chat history, and controls for building AI companions, customer service bots, or immersive experiences.
• ▸Content Creation Features: Tools for generating multi-character audiobooks from PDFs, podcasts, video voiceovers, and multi-speaker dialogues.
• ▸Use Cases: Conversational AI (e.g., empathetic customer support), media production (audiobooks/podcasts), gaming/VR characters, accessibility tools, and enterprise phone agents.
• ▸Performance & Innovations: Frontier models like EVI 3 (most realistic speech-to-speech) and Octave 2; focuses on emotional intelligence via proprietary eLLM (empathic large language model) for more natural, satisfying interactions.
• ▸Accessibility: Playground demos, documentation, and platform for testing; aimed at developers, creators, and enterprises.
