The voice technology industry has made significant progress despite the ongoing pandemic, with a growing investment in deep tech and academia. The annual Voice Report highlights key findings on AI bias, which affects many users, particularly those from diverse backgrounds. Despite this, there is an increasing appetite for real change among investors and developers. Self-supervised learning is seen as a critical solution to address biases, and its adoption is expected to play a crucial role in making tangible progress. The report also notes the growing demand for specific languages, such as Cantonese and Brazilian-Portuguese, and the importance of accuracy in voice technology, with breakthroughs in non-American English languages contributing to reduced accuracy gaps among different demographics.
