OVERVIEW

A proprietary STT·TTS engine trained on 20 years and 98,000 hours of Korean speech data. The end-to-end (E2E) recognition engine transcribes even the technical terms and proper nouns of finance, insurance, and the public sector accurately with an average 0.275-second response (STT), while our own DNN foundation model generates human-like speech with adjustable emotion, speed, and language within 0.3 seconds for 30 characters (TTS). It runs on-premises so call and voice data never leave your network — it is the voice foundation of Timbel's entire product line and deploys instantly via SDK, API, or engine embedding.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for teams like yours

"Korean recognition accuracy falls short"

Overseas engines struggle with technical terminology. Trained on 98,000 hours of Korean, HAIV recognizes it accurately.

"We can't send voice data outside"

Regulated industries prohibit external transfer. HAIV runs on-premises, entirely inside your network.

"We only need the engine"

You want to attach STT to your own system. We deliver it as an SDK, API, or embedded engine.
