BabelOn is the next generation of voice synthesis

Your voice is just as unique as your fingerprint. It’s a personal signature of sorts, and you can’t replace it. BabelOn captures your voice, with all the elements that make up your speech, and synthesizes it into new languages. All of this is done while keeping your vocal identity intact with an unprecedented degree of accuracy and depth of data.

Musicians will be able to easily release their songs in multiple languages, and entertainment studios will shoot films or television shows in one language but distribute in many without the need for voiceovers. Gamers, meanwhile, could play as characters voiced by themselves or chat with others on titles like League of Legends without hesitation. Imagine being able to have your game character speaking in your voice in any language.

BabelOn’s real-time translation keeps communication instant and accurate.

Additional uses for BabelOn’s proprietary capture method and speech synthesis process include voice banks, virtual avatars, video game characters, speech assistance, medical devices, security, biometrics, language learning, robotics, machine learning, and speech synthesis.

The hardware component of BabelOn’s patented capture method was built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LNNL), a world-renowned research and development facility aiding in the creation of many world changing innovations for the U.S. Department of Justice and other government agencies.

BabelOn has also recently been invited to continue development at NASA’s Ames Research Center under the mentorship of Dr. David E. Thompson, Chief Technical Advisor and Senior Scientist for Intelligent Systems at Ames. Joining Dr. Thompson on BabelOn’s Advisory board is digital media pioneer Scott Ross, co-founder of Digital Domain with James Cameron, as well as the father of dubbing, ex-Disney Exec Von Johnson, famed for establishing both Disney and Turner’s global dubbing infrastructure.

The technology and engineering genius behind BabelOn is led by long time partners, co-CTO’s Steven Wolff and William Moulton. Wolff developed speech recognition technology for NYSE and Black Hawk Helicopters and co-invented noise aperture tech exceeding the best DSP noise reduction. With 11 issued patents and 5 more in application, Wolff is a world expert in the areas of speech, microphones, sensors, and medical devices. Moulton specializes in total life-cycle systems design, disruptive technologies, pattern recognition problems, and improving human-computer interaction. Some of Moulton’s recent inventions include 3D cinema technology widely in use in theaters today, the first live two-way 3D video walls, and real-time CGI effects for satellite teleconferencing.
