Hume AI

Hume AI introduces a new frontier in voice generation with its empathic AI models. Unlike traditional text-to-speech (TTS) systems, Hume's core technology, Octave (Omni-capable text and voice engine), is a voice-based LLM. This allows it to understand the meaning and emotional context behind words, resulting in audio with human-like cadence, intonation, and expressiveness. The platform is designed for a wide range of users: For Creators: Effortlessly generate high-quality audio content. Create multi-character audiobooks by simply uploading a PDF, produce professional voiceovers for videos by choosing from a library of voices or cloning your own, and craft engaging multi-speaker podcasts that sound like real, studio-quality conversations. For Developers: Integrate sophisticated voice AI into products using Hume's comprehensive APIs and SDKs (available for Python, Typescript, Swift, React, and .NET). The Text-to-Speech API (Octave 2) offers low-latency (<200ms) voice generation in over 11 languages. The Speech-to-Speech API, powered by the EVI (Empathic Voice Interface) foundation model, enables the creation of dynamic, responsive conversational agents that can be merged with any major language model. For Enterprise: Deploy emotionally intelligent voice AI to enhance customer experiences and streamline operations. Power expressive AI characters for gaming or companion apps, integrate realistic voices into content creation platforms, or build advanced AI customer support and sales agents for phone systems.
