Speechlab

Speechlab is a company specializing in AI-powered speech-to-speech translation for dubbing audio and video content. Founded in 2022 and incubated at Andrew Ng's AI Fund, Speechlab's technology focuses on preserving the original speaker's voice while translating their words into different languages. As of August 2023, the company supported dubbing of English content into Spanish and Portuguese, and vice versa. Speechlab's AI models are trained using publicly available data and custom-created resources from hired voice actors, ensuring high-quality audio for their generative speech model. The company's approach aims to capture the nuances and variability of languages, including accents, rather than standardizing pronunciations. Speechlab was working on expanding its language offerings to include Mandarin input to English output and Japanese. The company positions itself as a platform for speech-to-speech translation catering to professional creators, over-the-top media, and online education sectors.
