The world of AI has made leaps and bounds from what it once was, but there are still some adjustments required for the optimal outcome. In the realm of conversational AI, VoxAI had already developed a platform to capture customer orders. The response time and oratory abilities needed improvement and this is where Collabora stepped in with WhisperLive.

WhisperLive, a real-time transcription service powered by OpenAI's Whisper model departed from traditional speech recognition methods by incorporating voice activity detection (VAD). VAD identifies speech presence, allowing for selective transmission of audio data to enhance transcription accuracy while optimizing data handling.

Simultaneously, Collabora employed a finely tuned Mistral model for the NLP component. Renowned for its efficiency and versatility, Mistral is six times faster and equally or more effective than the Llama 2 70B model across benchmarks. This model supports multiple languages and possesses inherent coding capabilities.

As we look to the WhisperLive's promising possibilities, our Machine Learning Lead, Marcus Edel, puts it best:

"The future of customer interaction lies in the harmonious fusion of sophisticated AI and powerful communication technologies. As we continue our mission and build fully in the open, WhisperLive, and now the award-nominated WhisperFusion, are poised to make an impact in the communication technology landscape."

To learn more about how this project came to life, take a look at out our case study.
