Deepgram Launches Aura: A New AI Text-to-Speech Solution for Enterprises and Developers
Deepgram, a leading provider of speech recognition and natural language processing solutions, has announced the release of Aura, their new AI Text-to-Speech (TTS) solution for enterprises and developers. This new platform, which compliments their industry-leading Speech-to-Text Platform, Nova-2, is designed to help developers build production-grade, secure, and human-like voice AI applications that run faster and more efficiently than any other solution on the market.
With Aura, developers can now create real-time, conversational voice AI agents that can interact with users in a natural and engaging way. This new TTS API delivers human-like quality conversation at incredible speed and efficiency, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Whether it’s customer service bots, virtual assistants, or other voice-enabled applications, Aura provides the essential building blocks needed to create high throughput, real-time AI agents.
Deepgram believes that voice will become the predominant way we interact with technology in the future, and that AI systems must be highly tuned to enable natural conversation at scale with low latency. Aura is able to generate speech from any text input, including responses from LLMs like ChatGPT, in fractions of a second, enabling fluid and natural-sounding conversations with AI agents.
Aura complements Deepgram’s Nova-2 Speech-to-Text API, which is already implemented in global enterprises such as Spotify, Citibank, NASA, and Twilio for its industry-leading accuracy and transcription speed. Together, these two platforms provide developers with a complete voice AI platform, giving them the tools they need to build the AI agents of the future.
“We are thrilled to launch Aura, our text-to-speech API, to the public after seeing the overwhelming demand for our early access product in the fall,” said Scott Stephenson, CEO and co-founder of Deepgram. “Aura is the result of years of research and development by our team of world-class AI scientists and engineers, who have leveraged the latest advances in deep learning and GPU technology to create a state-of-the-art TTS solution that outperforms anything else on the market.”
Developers can sign up for a free account and start using Aura today by visiting Deepgram’s website. The company offers flexible pricing plans for different needs and budgets, including a pool of free credits for new users to get started.
