How to Apply Powerful AI Audio Models to Real-World Applications

AI audio models are a powerful class of machine learning models that process or generate audio, a crucial data modality for understanding the world. The primary types include speech-to-text for transcription, text-to-speech for generating spoken audio, and speech-to-speech for real-time conversational applications. These models enable a wide range of uses, from summarizing customer service calls and creating audiobook voice-overs to building responsive virtual assistants. While converting audio to text can lose emotional nuance, direct speech-to-speech models can provide lower latency and more human-like interactions.
