toby partners with Cartesia to eliminate language barriers in the workforce
August 20, 2024
“Our goal at toby is to eliminate language barriers to enable global workforces. It's an ambitious mission that requires our bar for a voice provider to be extremely high. Cartesia delivers the best multilingual model for us across the board—latency, quality, and localization control that no other provider has.”
— Lucas Campa, Co-Founder, toby
toby was founded with a revolutionary vision: to ensure that language barriers no longer limit career potential. Their mission is to create a future where companies can effortlessly find, hire, and collaborate with the best talent worldwide. To achieve this, toby is developing cutting-edge technology, starting with an application that provides real time translation on video calls.
Cartesia met toby's founders, Lucas and Vincent, months before their launch. This early collaboration provided Cartesia with valuable feedback on adapting their strong English model to support all languages, particularly for real-time conversations that mirror in-office interactions. See a snippet of their launch video below!
toby chose Cartesia as their voice provider over alternatives for three key reasons:
- Industry-Leading Low Latency: Cartesia consistently achieves sub-200ms latency across all languages, the fastest among providers without compromising quality. This enables seamless translation, making interactions indistinguishable from live, in-office conversations.
- Superior Multilingual Support: Cartesia's multilingual capabilities match the consistency and accuracy of its English model, particularly in handling difficult pronunciations. Uniquely, Cartesia offers fine-grained localization control, allowing for regional accent specificity (e.g., Mexican Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese).
- Instant Voice Cloning: Cartesia enables instant voice cloning with just 10 seconds of audio, preserving speaker identity and rare accents in translations better than any alternative.
“Cartesia's team represents more than ten nationalities and languages. I'm a huge believer in the value of global workforces and diverse perspectives. What toby is doing by eliminating language barriers will transform hiring, bringing a future most would've thought at least a decade away. We're honored to play a part in their journey.”
— Karan Goel, CEO, Cartesia
