Case Study: Sonos achieves a branded, multilingual voice experience with ReadSpeaker VoiceLab

Sonos delivers privacy-first voice control across 60+ countries with ReadSpeaker

Sonos, a leader in sound experiences, sought to create a custom AI voice for its Sonos Voice Control that could accurately handle music-specific terminology and multilingual artist names. To meet this challenge, they partnered with the vendor ReadSpeaker and its VoiceLab service to develop a voice that aligned with their high-quality brand standards.

ReadSpeaker's solution involved recording sessions with actor Giancarlo Esposito and training deep neural network models to build a dynamic, real-time voice. The result was a unique, branded voice that enhanced the user experience by seamlessly handling complex content across multiple languages. ReadSpeaker also ensured the solution upheld Sonos's strict privacy standards by processing all voice requests entirely on the device.
