Company's technology empowers creators with human-like emotions in AI-generated voices and avatars for experiences that cannot be faked
SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Typecast, a leader in enabling emotionally engaging AI voices and avatars, today announced it has been selected for the second cohort of the AWS Generative AI Accelerator. Launched by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), the AWS Generative AI Accelerator identifies top early-stage startups that are using generative AI to solve complex challenges and help them scale and grow. Participants will access AWS credits, mentorship, and learning resources to further their use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies and grow their businesses.
This opportunity will support Typecast's efforts to improve and optimize its model and AI voice and avatar solution using AWS infrastructure. Teaming with AWS will also provide additional exposure to the Typecast service as the company leverages AI to transform the creative and interactive media landscape.
Typecast offers a large-scale foundational model and an innovative product suite that makes it simple for users to create highly advanced, emotionally engaging voices and avatars that look, sound, and move like humans with a level of quality akin to professional actors. Its technology, which is designed to eliminate deep fakes and safeguard against misuse, is being deployed to evolve the ways stories are told and experienced in a manner that delivers value to companies and creators as they explore new methods of content creation, narrative construction, and AI interaction. With up to $1 million in AWS credits, Typecast can not only train a bigger model on AWS infrastructure, it can rapidly scale to serve more users.
"We are thrilled to be selected for this prestigious program. It is validation for our proprietary technology that builds an enormous range of emotional cues and sounds into our model in order to generate remarkably realistic, human reactions," said Taesu Kim, CEO and Founder of Typecast. "Collaborating with AWS will help us accelerate our plans and expand our reach at the right moment. The global market is now ready to embrace our solution."
Typecast is one of 80 global startups from around the world selected for the program. The company has been invited to attend and showcase its solutions to potential investors, customers, partners, and AWS leaders in December at re:Invent 2024 in Las Vegas.
