00:00 I would, or as I find this, Dave and Jason,
00:03 want to know what Sound is.
00:05 And one of you is going to explain to me what Sound is.
00:09 We're an online audio production platform.
00:13 We produce audio for at least 60 languages and 162 dialects.
00:18 We have an online proprietary platform
00:21 that basically produces audio for 10 minutes.
00:25 So it takes, I think around 150,000 words,
00:29 it takes about 10 minutes to produce on our platform,
00:32 using over 824 narrators.
00:35 But that probably takes about 10 hours of listening time.
00:38 But I'm not sure how it gets to be so short.
00:41 So we use our own internally developed technologies
00:45 for synthetic production.
00:47 Do you know what digital means?
00:50 We're one of a few people that are exploring
00:53 synthetic voices and so we have an insurer
00:58 with what we call synthetic voices,
01:01 which are a technical stage.
01:03 And then we also have a new up-and-coming product,
01:06 which is proprietary licensed voices
01:09 with font voice artists.
01:11 We can use the same technology to produce audio
01:13 for synthetic voices at a traditionally great rate.
01:17 I love a nice font diary, I'd say.
01:20 It's really cute.
01:21 It doesn't even count.
01:25 I'd say we work with a number of voice artists.
01:28 Basically, synthetic voices are fully licensed.
01:33 We have some sense of what they can do
01:36 and they control everything.
01:38 So we want to be able to use their audio
01:43 for the best kind of actual production.
01:45 I can't remember the sentiment
01:47 that they're personalised in,
01:48 but I see some great things in the music world as well.
01:51 So we work with a number of voices
01:54 and we send them to the trial.
01:56 Well, good luck. Have a wonderful night.
