IBM selects Deepgram as first Watsonx voice partner

IBM is integrating speech capabilities from Deepgram into its generative AI offering, watsonx Orchestrate. With this move, Deepgram becomes IBM’s first official speech partner.

The focus is enterprise grade voice. Fast transcription. Real time subtitling. Reliable speech to text and text to speech that can hold up in actual business environments, not just clean demo conditions.

Organizations are already leaning on AI driven speech recognition to automate transcription. The challenge has been accuracy when things get messy. Background noise. Mixed accents. Natural conversation that does not follow a script. This integration is designed to handle that. The system provides support for multiple languages which includes various Arabic dialects and different Indian languages and their regional accents. The system offers custom tuning features together with instant subtitle creation and natural voice output capabilities.
