Summary

In its largest single language increase to date, Speechmatics has added 14 new languages to its accurate speech-to-text engine, empowering 340 million extra voices to use the technology in their native language. The company's expansion now supports over half of the world's population, outperforming Microsoft and Google's offerings. Speechmatics' new languages include lesser-spoken ones like Welsh and Basque, as well as constructed languages like Interlingua, aimed at preserving those communities and cultures for future generations. The company's Enhanced model has been trained to a higher standard than Google across shared languages, using self-supervised learning with little human input, resulting in an overall higher success rate in speech-to-text for all voices. Speechmatics plans to continue adding languages to its engine, aiming to reach 70% of the world's population in usability within three years.
