Synthetic Media Processing Laboratory

Synthetic Media Processing Laboratory (SMPL) was founded in 2021 by audio pioneers from Skype, Microsoft, Amazon, and BlackBerry to bring efficient, natural audio to the world through a unique blend of deep machine learning and traditional digital signal processing. SMPL’s technology powers billions of RTC minutes daily for over four billion users worldwide. But that was yesterday. Today, SMPL is leading the next wave of innovation in natural, conversational Voice AI—breaking new ground in real-time audio and defining the future of human-machine interaction. Voice AI isn’t just another RTC use case—it opens the door for a generational leap in audio technology development. Machine listening and speech enable new interaction models unbound by human hearing and speaking constraints. SMPL is pioneering these advancements, introducing capabilities that will redefine RTC performance and unlock the full potential of Voice AI.
