About
Sonic is a real-time text-to-speech model built for voice agents, combining natural delivery, sub-90ms latency, and native support for more than 40 languages. It is designed to make voice interactions feel effortless, with tone that adjusts to context, consistent pacing, and speech that follows the natural rhythm of conversation. By default, Sonic interprets the emotional subtext of a transcript and calibrates delivery automatically, while non-verbal expressions such as laughter can be inserted directly into the text. The model follows transcripts faithfully, produces clean audio across languages and voices, and handles alphanumeric content such as order numbers, phone numbers, IDs, and email addresses naturally without preprocessing. Context-aware pronunciation helps heteronyms sound correct from surrounding words, while custom pronunciation dictionaries let teams define how proper nouns and domain-specific terms should be spoken.

About
Velma is a voice-native AI model developed by Modulate as part of a broader voice intelligence platform, designed to understand conversations directly from audio rather than relying on text transcripts. Unlike traditional systems that convert speech into text and analyze it with language models, Velma uses an Ensemble Listening Model (ELM), a specialized architecture that processes multiple dimensions of voice simultaneously, including tone, emotion, pacing, intent, and behavioral signals. This allows it to capture the full meaning of a conversation, not just the words spoken, recognizing nuances such as stress, deception, sarcasm, or escalation in real time. It operates by combining hundreds of specialized detectors, each focused on specific aspects of speech like emotional state, inappropriate conduct, or synthetic voice indicators, and then fusing those signals into higher-level insights about what is happening in a conversation.
