Q&A Session with Simon Poghosyan, Head of GSpeech Enterprise
Simon Poghosyan, the founder and CEO of GSpeech, has made digital content more accessible through his AI-powered platform. With a background in VLSI Design and a passion for programming, he transitioned from the microelectronics industry to create GSpeech, a web-based solution that converts text into audio in over 70 languages.
The platform, which generates around 200 million characters of audio each month, is utilized across 70+ countries and offers customizable audio players for over 200,000 monthly plays. After surpassing 1 billion characters of audio generation, GSpeech continues to expand rapidly. The platform is designed for easy integration, requiring just a single line of code, and caters to creators, educators, and businesses striving for inclusive and engaging content.
Originally designed to aid visually impaired users, the platform's focus on accessibility drove the development of high-quality real-time AI audio, multilingual support, and seamless website integration. Over time, it evolved into a full-featured AI text-to-speech solution, offering features such as language and voice selection, context-aware playback, audio downloads, and usage statistics.
In 2023, Poghosyan established Smarts Club LLC to scale the global AI audio solution. His journey began in high school with a love for mathematics and physics, which led him to earn a Bachelor's and Master's degree in VLSI Design. During his second year of university, he discovered programming and instantly fell in love with it. Through collaboration with Edvard Ananyan, creator of the popular GTranslate translation service, he was introduced to the WordPress and Joomla ecosystems, and the concept for GSpeech originated.
Since then, Poghosyan has faced technical challenges in developing a scalable architecture for real-time, secure, and high-quality AI audio generation. He prioritized robust security measures, as well as enabling real-time translation using advanced neural engines. Most recently, Poghosyan has developed GSpeech Studio, an audio editing and generation platform that allows users to create professional-grade voiceovers for diverse applications.
With real-time translation in 70+ languages and over 230 natural-sounding voices, GSpeech maintains voice quality and accuracy through continuous optimization and updates of multilingual text-to-speech models. GSpeech is praised for its role in enhancing inclusivity and engagement on platforms like the Humanity Union's civic engagement platform.
By providing lifelike voice synthesis, GSpeech leverages advanced AI and machine learning, integrating multiple state-of-the-art text-to-speech models to ensure naturalness, multilingual support, and precise pronunciation. The platform is committed to staying current with neural voice technology, collaborating with industry leaders and planning to develop proprietary models in the future.
With its intuitive interface, GSpeech offers seamless integrations with popular platforms like WordPress, Shopify, and Wix, making it easy for creators and businesses to make their content accessible, multilingual, and interactive. The platform's ongoing growth is demonstrated by its milestones, such as generating 1 billion characters of high-quality AI audio and achieving a near-perfect rating in the AppSumo community.
Poghosyan encourages young developers and entrepreneurs to pursue accessible, AI-powered tools with passion and a commitment to making a difference. By focusing on real-world problems, he believes that smart, innovative solutions can be developed to improve the lives of people around the world.
