Advances in Speech Technology and AI

In the past year, speech technology has made significant strides, with speech synthesis models producing speech that is indistinguishable from real speech. Generative AI has played a crucial role in driving these advancements. SpeechLab, a leader in real-time dubbing, is utilizing new AI techniques to convert speech from one language to another. Examples like President Obama speaking Spanish or Elon Musk speaking Japanese showcase the capabilities of real-time dubbing. Ivan Gileya, the co-founder and president of SpeechLab, emphasizes that we are on the verge of achieving the holy grail of speech technology, which will overcome communication barriers and transform the world.
