Excited to share our fantastic work on speech emphasis across languages and emotions! 🌏🎙️ #Interspeech2026

[Megan Wei @MeganJWei]

✈️ Tourist: "oh LOOK, a KANGAROO!!" 🫨
🇦🇺 Local: "oh… look… a kangaroo…" 😒

Despite having the same emphasized words, these sentences sound totally different.

In our #Interspeech2026 paper, we ask: do speech emphasis models generalize across languages and emotions? 🧵

Congratulations to the Nuance Labs team! Exciting to see the future of emotionally intelligent, human-centered AI taking shape.

[Fangchang Ma @fangchangma]

We’re excited to share that @nuance_ai has raised a $50M Series A led by @lightspeedvp, joined by @Accel, @spc, @nvidia, and @definevc!

Much of human communication happens beyond words. Before we can speak, we learn to read faces, return smiles, follow gestures, and sense when someone is listening. That visual and emotional vocabulary stays with us for life.

At Nuance Labs, we’re building a foundation model that understands and responds to the full spectrum of human emotion. A single full-duplex audio-visual model that sees, listens, and responds in real time, with the natural give-and-take of a conversation with a friend or colleague.

We believe the best interface with a machine is the one we’ve practiced since birth.

Join us!
