May 12, 2024 - LongOn Capital Partners today announced a Series A investment in Narrify, an artificial intelligence company pioneering a new platform for voice-enabled content creation and consumption experiences.
Narrify's innovative product combines advanced AI voice generation with powerful text-to-speech capabilities to simplify how creators develop and audiences experience audio content. The platform allows users to generate realistic, expressive narrations in multiple languages, accents, and styles from written text with just a few clicks."Narrify is at the forefront of applying cutting-edge AI and voice technologies to reimagine content creation workflows and open up new modes of information consumption," said Jayne Smith, Partner at LongOn Capital. "We're thrilled to partner with the Narrify team as they work to make the creation and enjoyment of audio content more accessible and delightful.
"For authors and creators, Narrify streamlines transforming written scripts into engaging audiobooks, podcasts, or voice-overs through its library of AI-generated narration voices. Creators can craft an immersive listening experience by selecting from a range of natural-sounding voices across languages, accents, tones, and styles. On the consumption side, Narrify's text-to-speech engine allows users to convert any digital text into spoken audio on demand - enabling hands-free, eyes-free experiences for books, articles, emails, and other content. This opens up new accessibility opportunities for those with visual, physical, or cognitive limitations. "Our mission is to empower creators to bring audio experiences to life more seamlessly while giving audiences new ways to consume information and stories," said Alex Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Narrify.
