NCSpeech has been named to the 2026 Slator Language AI 50 Under 50, a global ranking of the most notable companies in language AI.
We were recognized in the Voice AI category, alongside teams advancing speech models for multilingual and regional language markets.
This is exactly the problem we set out to solve. Major languages are already well served. But regions, local languages, and real "in-the-wild" speech remain a blind spot, with little data available even as demand for sovereign and localized AI keeps growing.
We're building the infrastructure to close that gap: collecting and validating real-world speech data where it simply didn't exist before.
Thank you to the Slator team for the recognition, and to our team across SEA and Central Asia for the work behind it.
