About us
Understand the world
Soniox was founded in 2020 with the mission to develop AI capable of converting speech to text with superhuman accuracy. To overcome the limitations of traditional supervised learning, Soniox introduced the world’s first unsupervised learning approach for speech recognition in 2021. This breakthrough set a new industry standard, surpassing all existing speech-to-text solutions in accuracy.
In 2024, Soniox developed Omnio, the first audio-LLM designed to process and understand audio natively. Unlike conventional speech-to-text and text-based AI models, Omnio comprehends speech in its full context—recognizing speakers, their roles, emotions, sentiment, and speaking styles. This enables a deeper and more nuanced understanding of conversations.
Soniox's mission is to develop AI that understands the world around us.
