Whispp has raised $5.8M to scale its real-time, on-device voice reconstruction AI. LUMO Labs and Oost NL are backing the Leiden-based company, which was founded in 2020 by Joris Castermans and Akash Raj Komarlu.
Whispp's audio-to-audio technology converts affected and whispered speech into a person's clear, natural voice - giving people with a voice condition their voice back and enabling private calls made simply by whispering. The company licenses the tech to mobile and PC OEMs and communications platforms, and its new executive team includes CEO Andreas Spechtler, former President of Dolby International, alongside CRO Mahesh Sundaram and CPO Roland Vlaicu.
