About Hume AI
Our platform is developed in tandem with scientific innovations that reveal how people experience and express over 30 distinct emotions. Expressive understanding and communication is critical to the future of voice assistants, health tech, social networks, and much more. Applications of AI should be supported by collaborative, rigorous, and inclusive science. AI should be prevented from treating human emotion as a means to an end. The benefits of AI should be shared by people from diverse backgrounds. People affected by AI should have enough data to make decisions about its use. AI should be deployed only with the informed consent of the people whom it affects.

MAI-Voice-2
MAI-Voice-2 is Microsoft AI’s most expressive and natural-sounding text-to-speech model to date, built for production voice experiences where fidelity, language coverage, speaker consistency, and emotional range directly shape the user experience. It is designed for assistants, customer support, audiobooks, accessibility experiences, games, podcasts, courses, simulations, and creator workflows where voice quality must sound natural, fluid, and trustworthy. It expands from English-only support to 15 languages while maintaining naturalness and expressiveness, with support for English, Italian, French, German, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Turkish, Russian, Thai, Dutch, Romanian, and Hungarian. MAI-Voice-2 offers granular emotion control through tags such as sad, whispered, and excited, along with role-based expressive speech for experiences like motivational trainers, sports commentators, or character voices.

EchoDepth
EchoDepth is an Emotional Risk Intelligence platform from Cavefish. It measures how communication will land before it is delivered, scoring delivery risk across video, voice and text.
Unlike sentiment analysis, which classifies language as positive or negative after the fact, EchoDepth analyses observable delivery signals and returns scored, timestamped reports showing where audiences disengage and what to change. Measurement is built on the Facial Action Coding System standard: 44 Action Units calibrated across 14 cultural cohorts in 6 countries, rather than generic image classification. EchoDepth reports what the facial muscles did, not what emotion that represents, leaving interpretation to context-aware human review. For regulated deployment this is the defensible architecture.
Typical applications include earnings call and investor communication review, FCA Consumer Duty vulnerability detection, contact centre escalation prevention, interview consistency scoring, and defence

Gemini 2.5 Pro TTS
Gemini 2.5 Pro TTS is Google’s advanced text-to-speech model in the Gemini 2.5 family, optimized for high-quality, expressive, controllable speech synthesis for structured and professional audio generation tasks. The model delivers natural-sounding voice output with enhanced expressivity, tone control, pacing, and pronunciation fidelity, enabling developers to dictate style, accent, rhythm, and emotional nuance through text-based prompts, making it suitable for applications like podcasts, audiobooks, customer assistance, tutorials, and multimedia narration that require premium audio output. It supports both single-speaker and multi-speaker audio, allowing distinct voices and conversational flows in the same output, and can synthesize speech across multiple languages with consistent style adherence. Compared with lower-latency variants like Flash TTS, the Pro TTS model prioritizes sound quality, depth of expression, and nuanced control.

Octave TTS
Hume AI has introduced Octave (Omni-capable Text and Voice Engine), a groundbreaking text-to-speech system that leverages large language model technology to understand and interpret the context of words, enabling it to generate speech with appropriate emotions, rhythm, and cadence, unlike traditional TTS models that merely read text, Octave acts akin to a human actor, delivering lines with nuanced expression based on the content. Users can create diverse AI voices by providing descriptive prompts, such as "a sarcastic medieval peasant," allowing for tailored voice generation that aligns with specific character traits or scenarios. Additionally, Octave offers the flexibility to modify the emotional delivery and speaking style through natural language instructions, enabling commands like "sound more enthusiastic" or "whisper fearfully" to fine-tune the output.
