Deepgram, a startup developing voice recognition models for the enterprise, today announced the Deepgram Startup Program to provide select companies with custom-trained speech models.
Deepgram has also added a range of features to its platform, including a revamped developer console, software development kits, and API documentation.
Deepgram CEO and cofounder Scott Stephenson told VentureBeat:
“The pandemic accelerated the need for digital experiences, and voice technology emerged as a must-have for companies looking to stay connected to both employees and customers,”
“With the Deepgram Startup Program, we’re arming the next generation of startups and developers with the tools they need to excel in the speech space.”
According to Stephenson, the Deepgram Startup Programme is designed to help entrepreneurs and developers “harness the power of speech recognition quickly and easily at no cost.” As a part of the programme, Deepgram will offer $10 million in free credits, with a specific focus on startups in education and employee experiences.
Among the capabilities Deepgram released to coincide with the launch of the Deepgram Startup Programme, the highlight is an enhanced developer console. One of the key features is Missions, which provides users with a learning path for getting started with Deepgram. The console also aims to simplify usage and billing by offering promotional credits and automated re-enrollment, as well as account management.
