An enterprise voice-AI platform built on deliberately small, fast speech models. Waves handles text-to-speech, voice cloning, and conversion in 30+ languages, while Atoms is a real-time voice-agent platform that plugs into business systems for support, lead qualification, and outbound calls. The company says it can generate 10 seconds of speech in about 100 milliseconds for sub-second voicebot responsiveness.

  • TTS + voice agents in one platform
  • 30+ languages incl. Indian langs

    Rime

    Enterprise text-to-speech built for real-time voice agents.

    Rime builds AI voice models for high-stakes business conversations like IVRs, contact centers, and AI phone agents. Its Arcana and Mist models target ultra-low latency and natural, conversational delivery, with deterministic pronunciation control so terms are spoken consistently without retraining. Rime can be deployed on-prem, in a VPC, or via cloud API, and is offered directly or through voice-AI partner platforms.

    Worth knowing

    Open-sourced Rimecaster in 2025, billed as the first open speaker model trained on natural conversational — not audiobook — speech.
