Voice is becoming the new interface of work. From warehouses to call centers, AI-powered assistants are showing up everywhere: faster, hands-free, always on. The scale is staggering: the Voice AI Agents Market is forecasted to grow from $2.4 billion to $47.5 billion by 2034, and the approximate number of voice assistants in use globally is now over 8 billion – more than people on the planet. But recognizing speech isn’t enough anymore. In high-stakes environments like healthcare, voice AI ne

Coding is changing fast, and AI is now writing much of it. In 2025, more than 15 million developers use copilots like GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini Code Assist, and OpenAI’s coding tools to work faster and with fewer mistakes (GitHub usage data). Surveys show that 9 out of 10 engineering teams rely on AI assistants, with many reporting 25–50% productivity gains. The newest trend is the rise of specialized copilots for speech recognition and computer vision. These tools include built-in knowledge

Walk into a store, grab what you need, and leave – no checkout, no lines. Order room service without touching a phone. Get menu suggestions based on what you actually like, not what’s on special. This is how AI in retail and hospitality already working behind the scenes. Retail and HoReCa businesses (hotels, restaurants, catering) are using AI for retail and restaurant operations optimization to improve service speed, operational efficiency, and customer insight. This article looks at how that p

Our team recently attended the 25th Interspeech Conference, held from September 1st to 5th on Kos Island, Greece. This year’s theme, "Speech and Beyond," highlighted new developments in speech technology, focusing on areas like healthcare diagnostics, virtual assistants, and even animal sound recognition. It was a great opportunity for experts worldwide to share their work and discuss the latest trends. Here are some of the key topics and insights we gathered from the event. A major topic at the

Conversation design for generative AI is key in making artificial intelligence (AI) easier and more natural for people to use. In this field, blending creativity with technical skills transforms AI interactions to feel more like talking to a human than a machine. Designers focus on making AI responses clear and relatable, using their knowledge of how language works. Their role is crucial in making advanced AI systems user-friendly, ensuring they fit smoothly into our daily lives. This article

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are becoming an increasingly important part of human-machine interaction. Simultaneously, they are still too expensive to develop from scratch. Companies need to choose between using a cloud API for an ASR system developed by tech giants or playing with open-source solutions. In this post, we compare eight of the most popular ASR systems to facilitate the choice for your project needs and team’s skills. We have conducted our tests to define the word err

In my childhood, one of the funniest interactions with a computer was to make it read a fairy tale. You could copy a text into a window and soon listen to a colorless metallic voice stumble through commas and stop weaving a weirdly accented story. At those times it was a miracle. Nowadays the goal of TTS — the Text-to-Speech conversion technology — is not to simply have machines talk, but to make them sound like humans of different ages and genders. In perspective, we’ll be able to listen to mac

In less than a month, from Sep. 15–19, 2019, Graz, Austria will become home for INTERSPEECH, the world‘s most prominent conference on spoken language processing. The conference unites science and technology under one roof and becomes a platform for over 2000 participants who will share their insights, listen to eminent speakers, and attend tutorials, challenges, exhibitions, and satellite events. What are our expectations of it as participants and presenters? Tanja Schultz*, the spokesperson of
