Reverie Raises the Bar for Indian Speech Recognition

Marking its 16th anniversary, Reverie Language Technologies has introduced a speech-to-text model that truly understands how Indians communicate. Unlike generic global solutions, this system thrives on linguistic complexity - accurately processing Hindi, English, and their popular hybrid: Hinglish.

Performance That Speaks Volumes

The numbers tell an impressive story:

• 3 million API calls handled successfully last year
• 4.2% higher accuracy than Deepgram in independent tests
• 1.5x faster response times compared to competitors

What makes these metrics remarkable isn't just the technology - it's the cultural intelligence behind them. Whether someone says "twenty-three" or "तेईस", the model understands both perfectly.

Beyond Translation - Cultural Comprehension

Pranjal Nayak, Reverie's R&D head, explains their unique approach: "We didn't just build another speech tool - we created something that thinks like an Indian speaker. It gets how we mix languages mid-sentence and understands our number habits instinctively."

The system shines where others stumble:

• Recognizes regional name variations with different spellings/pronunciations
• Handles industry-specific terminology in banking and customer service
• Processes 15,000+ multilingual debt collection calls with high accuracy (as proven by financial sector clients)

A Linguistic Toolkit for All India

The Hinglish model joins Reverie's growing family of specialized solutions covering:

• Tamil • Telugu • Bengali • Marathi • Gujarati
• Kannada • Malayalam • Assamese • Oriya • Punjabi

Each receives dedicated training for regional dialects and accents - because language lives differently across India's diverse states.

The technology is already transforming operations for early adopters. One financial services giant reported dramatic improvements in call center efficiency after implementation.

How Businesses Can Benefit

Available through Reverie's API platform (cloud or on-premise), the solution offers:

• Field-specific language packages
• Number/name disambiguation
• Customizable hot word enhancement All configurable through a single interface.

The timing couldn't be better as India's digital economy grows exponentially. With voice becoming the preferred interface for millions of new internet users, solutions that truly understand local speech patterns will have a distinct advantage.

Key Points:

✅ Outperforms competitors: 4.2% more accurate than Deepgram with faster response times
✅ Cultural fluency: Understands Hinglish mixes and regional dialects naturally
✅ Proven results: Already boosting efficiency across banking and customer service sectors
