– Soapbox Labs: SoapBox Labs have been working on the problem of children’s speech recognition technology since 2013 and have built a voice technology platform for children aged 4-12. To address accuracy, their platform has been built using state of the art deep learning and leveraging thousands of hours of proprietary high-quality speech data from young children across the globe. They license our global, scalable, real-time cloud-based speech recognition framework to third parties who integrate into their products and services. Application areas include education, robotics, toys, gaming, AR/VR and voice assistants. www.soapboxlabs.com
