September 17, 2020 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Ghosal Ventures announced today that it will be making an initial investment in Deepsync Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a Delhi, India startup, focused on AI (Artificial Intelligence) synthesized audio production.Deepsync is a deep tech startup that uses cutting edge machine learning to clone human voices.
Using their platform, the user can record sample audio, then convert textual content to produce audio output. In a nutshell, it helps the large developers, producers and voice artists build content much faster compared to the traditional way of recording in a studio while reducing the costs and time significantly.
"Our product cuts down costs associated with podcasting and audio book production which
require time and capital to create audio content," said Ishan Sharma, CEO for Deepsync. "Using our platform, an organization can simply use existing pre-recorded samples of voice artists and keep on creating new content without the need of that artist."
The textual content can be in written format, currently in English or Hindi, which the user wants to convert to audio to build podcasts, audio books, voice assistants or any long form of voice content. The platform then takes the text as input along with a voice sample of at least 20 hours, and their engine then clones the voice taking into consideration the user's accent, dialect and speaking mannerisms to provide the cloned version of the user's voice which is indistinguishable from the original.
"AI generated voice is now an integral part of everyday life and the demand for content is significant" said Anjan Ghosal, Managing Director for Ghosal Ventures. "The Deepsync product offers a combination of high quality, rapid production and reasonable cost, exactly what the market needs."
Ghosal Ventures is providing an angel round of funding as a lead investor, invested through Anicut Angel Fund, along with other angel investors. Funds raised total nearly US$300,000.
"Deepsync already has a functioning product with clients onboard" added Mr. Ghosal. "Our goal is to take them to the next level, expand the development of the platform and broaden their market scope."
