Anker calls Thus the 'first Compute-in-Memory (CIM) AI audio chip with neural networks.' The chip integrates computing power directly into NOR flash memory cells, providing faster read speeds than NAND memory.

Cohere's Transcribe model is designed for tasks like note-taking and speech analysis, supporting 14 languages and optimized for consumer-grade GPUs, making it accessible for self-hosting.

Galen Buckwalter, a 69-year-old research psychologist and quadriplegic, participated in a brain implant study to contribute to science that aids those with paralysis. The six chips in his brain decode movement intention, allowing him to operate a computer and feel sensations in his fingers again.

The vocoder was never supposed to be a revolution in music. Its development began a century ago, when an engineer at Bell Labs was looking for a simpler way to send phone calls across copper telephone lines.

If you've ever used tools like PhonicMind or LALAL.AI, you know the drill: Upload your MP3. Wait in a queue. Pay for "credits" or high-quality downloads. Your file sits on someone else's server. For musicians, producers, or just karaoke fans, this is slow and privacy-invasive.

When professionals talk about how to remove background noise from video, they are really talking about improving the audio track of a video so the speaker's voice is clearer, more consistent, and easier to understand. Background noise refers to any unwanted sound that competes with the main voice, like air conditioning hum, office chatter, keyboard typing, traffic, or the low hiss created by recording equipment and compression. In video production, background noise removal is about reducing distractions so the listener can focus on the message.

Talking to ChatGPT feels more collaborative than typing. It shines for brainstorming, prep, and translation. Usage limits can interrupt productivity mid-session. Voice Mode runs on mobile devices, as well as in your browser. On mobile, there are two ChatGPT widgets available for the lock screen. One widget opens the app, and one launches ChatGPT Voice.

Junho Park's graduation concept borrows all the right cues from TE's playbook, that modular control layout, the single bold color, the mix of knobs and buttons that practically beg to be touched, but redirects them toward a gap in the market. Where Teenage Engineering designs for people who already understand synthesis and sampling, the T.M-4 targets people who have ideas but no vocabulary to express them.

ElevenLabs co-founder and CEO Mati Staniszewski says voice is becoming the next major interface for AI - the way people will increasingly interact with machines as models move beyond text and screens. Speaking at Web Summit in Doha, Staniszewski told TechCrunch voice models like those developed by ElevenLabs have recently moved beyond simply mimicking human speech - including emotion and intonation - to working in tandem with the reasoning capabilities of large language models.
