Voice Tech : An innovative voice software to give it back !

Each year, tens of thousands of people in France lose the use of the voice or the speech. Not being able to use your voice is a great trauma. Jean-Luc Crebouw, the founder of CandyVoice, knows something about this, since when he was a child, he temporarily lost the use of his voice following a car accident.

Later, this painful experience contributed to the birth of his passion for digital voice processing. The expertise in this field, and many years of research & development have enabled CandyVoice to create a suite of innovative voice software:

• Voice Imitation
• Voice Transformation
• Speaker Recognition
• Command Recognition
• Lip Synchronization
• Noise Filter

This software can improve and enrich products or services based on voice interaction. Indeed, a revolution is underway, and it generates a great behavioral upheaval; the voice becomes a new interface between man and machine. Thanks to voice recognition, a large number of voice products and services are emerging, and we are witnessing the emergence of a new voice industry, the Voice Tech.

With its voice software, CandyVoice can address various markets and handle numerous use cases:

• Health (voice backup, serious games)
• Robots and communicating objects (voice customization)
• MMORPG online games (voice for game characters)
• Telecom and call center (ambient noise filtering)

For example, CandyVoice’s Noise Filter is used in the radio devices of all sports referees worldwide.

In March 2020, CandyVoice was awarded the Prix Coup de Cœur du Public during the Innovation Trophies of the Grand Est Region for its project in the health field.

CandyVoice wishes to put its expertise and innovative software at the service of improving interpersonal voice communication, but also between people and machines.
