Unleashing the Power of Voice Generation AI

-  Leading tech innovators join forces to explore advanced artificial
intelligence technologies and applications -

Online Blockchain Plc (LSE:OBC) and ElevenLabs - a world-leader in voice
Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and deployment - are collaborating in a
tech partnership to unlock the full potential of voice AI.

 * Synthia has implemented ElevenLabs' highly realistic text-to-speech, low
latency voice AI

 * Potential for users of Synthia AI to 'voice train' their assistant

 * Multilingual voice generation capable of creating an AI polyglot accessible to
millions

Synthia, the whole-life AI Assistant being developed by Online Blockchain, is
utilising ElevenLabs' AI-powered text-to-speech models to generate high
quality, human-sounding dialogue. No more robotic, incongruous, high latency
speech, Synthia AI's voice calls and website interactions are natural and
intuitive and have potential to be nearly impossible to distinguish from a
real-life assistant. Online Blockchain is also looking at deploying
ElevenLabs' tech so Synthia users can 'train' their own models to fully
customise their AI assistant, and installing its new multilingual voice
generation model, which is capable of accurately producing AI audio in nearly
30 languages. This has the potential to make Synthia accessible to many more
millions of users.

ElevenLabs recently raised $19 million in a Series A funding round led by VC
giant Andreessen Horowitz and has been valued at $100 million. The start-up,
which launched in beta in January 2023, has gained significant traction for
its natural-sounding speech synthesis and text-to-speech software, which
utilises AI technologies and deep learning techniques. The company has already
attracted more than one million registered users across content creation
industries.

 

Online Blockchain is a UK-listed technology incubator, which develops
cutting-edge technology products and platforms and has a long-standing
presence in the global tech landscape. Its latest product Synthia is a
whole-life AI executive assistant, which uses a variety of cutting-edge large
language models to perform an ever-expanding range of practical tasks for
customers.

Carles Reina, VP of Revenue at ElevenLabs, said: "This is a clear example of
two innovative companies working together to offer best-in-class products to
customers. Synthia is one of the best products we have seen so far".

"By joining forces with ElevenLabs in this exciting venture we can combine our
large range of varied technical experience to research wider use cases and
applications, and develop new AI benefits for end users," said Clem Chambers,
CEO of Online Blockchain. "We look forward to exploring new markets and
driving significant innovation and growth."
