Authenticity

In late June 2022, Sanas, a Silicon Valley startup, raised $32 million in Series A funding. Sanas is a real-time accent translation technology. For years, call centers in India or the Philippines have worked to neutralize accents by training their employees before they get to answering the phones. This new AI obviates that training – it alters accents in real time, making employees sound more American. From Sanas' perspective, they are working for the good of all concerned. The communication barriers between people with different accents and across multiple continents have lifted.
