Speech and language technology, built the way our customers need it.
Cobalt Speech and Language is a provider of speech and language technology for small and large organizations. Its team of speech scientists and engineers develops recognition, intelligence and interaction systems that can be deployed inside the customer's infrastructure.
Make advanced speech technology usable in the real world.
Cobalt works with organizations whose operating, security and infrastructure constraints rule out generic public speech APIs. Our technology is designed to be adapted — for vocabulary, acoustic conditions, devices and workflows — and deployed where our customers need it.
Privacy Built-In.
Cobalt technology can operate without transferring sensitive voice data to a public, multi-tenant speech platform. Our products support on-premise, private cloud and embedded deployment so that audio, transcripts and voice biometrics stay inside the organization's chosen environment.
How Cobalt came together.
Cobalt was founded by Jeff Adams, whose earlier work included the speech recognition technology behind Amazon Echo. The company was built around the idea that specialized organizations should be able to deploy speech and language technology on their own terms — inside their own systems, adapted to their own data.
Since then, Cobalt has grown a team of speech scientists and engineers who work across recognition, intelligence and interaction products, and who take on custom research engagements through Cobalt Labs.
