Cobalt, the leading provider of customized speech and language solutions for small and large businesses, offers speech recognition, synthesis, and analysis of both text and audio. We specialize in "cognitive computing,” or getting computers to do the hard stuff that usually only human brains can do, especially speech & language. Speech & Language are paramount achievements of the most advanced species on the planet. The company was founded in 2014 by Jeff Adams, who successfully led speech research groups at Amazon, Yap, and Nuance. Cobalt offers an extensive variety of standard or uniquely tailored solutions in addition to expert consulting. Our team consists of trailblazing, master-level speech and language scientists and engineers with a combined 100 years of experience and 50 patents. We are an outsourcing research & consulting group and technology company, not a product company. *Your* products are where our passions lie. Why "Cobalt?" Take your pick from the following good origin stories: * Cobalt, the element, is an ordinary metal, but when you add it to glass, a brilliant blue hue appears. Our technology makes your company's products distinctive and alive. * Cobalt is often found in mineral deposits near Nickel, and before metallurgists knew about Cobalt, they wondered why sometimes their Nickel didn't smelt right (it was Cobalt). They blamed it on a gremlin, or "Kobold" in German. (That's where Cobalt gets its name. Most tech companies are good at the Nickel of software development, but the Cobalt Speech and Language can be inscrutable & frustrating. We know how to tame those gremlins and make speech & language work right.) * Cobalt is the core of Cobalamine (a.k.a. vitamin B12), which is vital to human brain function. Our company is the Cobalamine of cognitive computing because we enrich your software with brainpower. Be Better. Be Bold. Be the Change.
