NAMO is the first open source real time speech model from VideoSDK and chops 20x the typical cost of existing solutions. This democratizes high quality speech processing, allowing startups and enterprises to embed powerful voice capabilities for low cost. What we do at VideoSDK is prioritize affordability while still making sure that performance and outcomes are still delivered in that sense and fight giants in the industry by addressing the economics of AI enabled communication tools.
NAMO's real time processing provides ultra low latency which makes NAMO perfect for live transcription, voice assistants, teleconferences and much more. The model is built on cutting edge machine learning, while attaining near human accuracy at scale. Unlike proprietary solutions, NAMO’s open source framework enables developers to adjust the technology to industry specifications as well as how to optimize the framework. Its flexibility makes it a real game changer for agile tech teams.
NAMO’s lightweight architecture drastically decreases infrastructure demands, as traditional speech models are often expensive to run in a cloud-computing model. Due to VideoSDK’s optimization techniques the model runs well on edge devices and eliminates operational overhead further. At scale, businesses deploying voice enabled applications its a strategic advantage KubeSail is cost efficient for using voice to serve customers such as voice bots, voice translation, etc.
An open source approach to this work encourages adoption as developers around the world drive the evolution of NAMO. VideoSDK’s decision not to force licensing fits into the expansion in the open, community driven world of AI tools. The company eliminates vendor lock in to allow businesses to augment the foundational model with proprietary enhancements, an unprecedented value proposition in speech technology.
Now, Competitors with closed ecosystems are being forced to justify their premium pricing. NAMO’s 20X cost reductions are disruptive, they shake up the way things work, if you are an incumbent you have to innovate or you will lose. It is a step forward for VideoSDK in making all AI performance more accessible. Early adopters will benefit in a first mover way with NAMO out of the gate in sectors such as healthcare, education and fintech with limited barriers.
VideoSDK isn’t just creating another speech model, it is setting new industry standards with NAMO. Combining open-sourced accessibility with high enterprise class performance, the company has set a new benchmark for real time AI speech solutions. With NAMO, developers and businesses begin to carry it along with them and this catalyzes the demise of overpriced alternatives, as we move into a new era of cost effective, high impact voice technology.
