With the holiday season almost upon us, now's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and how much Speechmatics has accomplished. The company finalized its Series B Funding, securing its future plans and accelerating global expansion across the United States and Asia-Pacific regions. This funding enabled improvements in infrastructure and supported the addition of 14 new languages to their offering, now supporting over half of the world's population. The team achieved significant milestones, including the launch of a Financial Language Pack and Entity Formatting feature, which made a real difference in various use cases. The company also won awards and saw accuracy uplifts. The CEO, Katy Wigdahl, highlighted the importance of teamwork, celebrating the Annual Summer Event, where staff from 164 employees gathered for the first time since before the pandemic. Speechmatics has big plans for 2023, including a partnership with NVIDIA to improve AI systems and train larger models. The company is compiling an annual Voice Report to gather insights on the speech industry's future direction. Katy Wigdahl expressed gratitude to the team, investors, partners, and customers for their hard work and support. Speechmatics wishes its users a happy and restful festive season and invites them to try out their API with a free trial.
