LIZHI Upgrades Online Chatbot Demo With Voice AI

GUANGZHOU, China, Feb. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LIZHI INC. (“LIZHI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LIZI), an audio-based social and entertainment company, has announced that, following its the implementation of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, the Company has upgraded its new AI-powered online chatbot demo to incorporate voice AI and speech recognition. LIZHI’s now enhanced voice AI chatbot demo is capable of automated voice dialogue, which will further enrich users’ interactive audio entertainment experience.

The AI-powered online chatbot demo was made possible through LIZHI’s ongoing in-depth research and exploration of natural language processing (NLP) technology. LIZHI’s voice AI technology upgrades the chatbot by leveraging LIZHI’s technological capabilities in the online audio field.

With the application of ASR and TTS technology, voice AI enables the chatbot to automatically recognize vocal speech input. NLP technology is employed to intelligently analyze, comprehend and derive meaning from natural language and respond, before TTS technology converts text into voice responses. Users can interact with the voice AI chatbot with voice commands and receive contextualized, relevant voice responses.

In the years to come, LIZHI will continue its research and exploration of cutting-edge technologies and further expand the possible applications and usage scenarios of such technologies, including the implementation of its voice AI chatbot into the Company’s audio products. Ultimately, LIZHI aims to enrich users’ social audio and interactive audio entertainment experience with continuous innovation of its online audio products.
