AI that listens, speaks, and thinks in your language.

Duran works on speech and language AI for languages that mainstream systems often overlook. Our research spans speech recognition, natural voice synthesis, and small language models. We also build products that bring those capabilities to people and organizations.

The research

Three model families, one language stack.

ASR · Speech to text

Make speech searchable and actionable.

We train and adapt recognition systems for real conversations, local accents, specialized vocabulary, and the languages people actually use.

TTS · Text to speech

Give language a natural voice.

We develop speech synthesis for expressive, useful voices in low-resource languages, beginning with Mongolian.

SLM · Small language models

Reason close to the work.

We adapt smaller models to an organization's documents, terminology, and workflows, with deployment choices shaped by its infrastructure and data requirements.
