Speechmatics

Speechmatics builds foundational speech technology for the AI era, delivering speech-to-text, text-to-speech and conversational AI as APIs. Its Speech-to-Text API supports more than 55 languages and is designed to perform equally well across accents and demographic groups; the Text-to-Speech and Conversational AI APIs extend the same underlying technology across the Voice AI product suite.

The company's technical lineage runs deep. It pioneered neural network speech recognition in the 1980s and launched the world's first bilingual code-switching models. Current work spans neural network speech recognition, multilingual and code-switching language models, and machine learning applied to inclusivity in training data - addressing accents and demographics explicitly rather than as an afterthought.

Speechmatics describes its mission as "Understand Every Voice". Its stated values are Care Deeply, People First, Be Ambitious and Move Fast, and the company frames its engineering culture around balancing complex technical problems with elegant solutions, with the freedom to fail fast and iterate. It cites an interest in both customer outcomes and the societal impact of the technology it builds.
