Audirae: research and development in voice interfaces.
Audirae is the studio's research and development project in voice interfaces. It studies how people can listen to written material and work with text by voice, especially when their hands and eyes are busy elsewhere.

Exploration at the core of the studio
Audirae is the most research-driven of the studio's projects. It reflects what Founder-Sync OS does at its core: taking a technology, in this case voice, and exploring it in depth to find out where it can be genuinely useful.
Research areas
Audirae is a research project, not a product. These are its focus areas.
Text-to-speech
Turning written text into clear, natural-sounding speech.
Structured reading
Reading documents aloud in a way that follows their structure, including headings, sections and lists, so that listening is as navigable as reading.
Hands-free workflows
Working with text by voice when hands and eyes are occupied.
How Audirae fits the studio's work
Voice runs through much of the studio's work. Debrio starts with a spoken debrief, and OgaVox turns speech into text. Audirae looks at the other direction and at the wider interface: how software can speak back, read structured material aloud and support whole tasks done by voice. What the studio learns through Audirae informs how voice features are designed across Founder-Sync OS projects.
Status: Research & development
Research & development
Audirae is ongoing research and development and is not offered as a product. This page describes the work and invites conversation with people and organizations interested in voice interfaces.
