Berlin's Deepslate raises €7.7m to build voice AI for European languages
Its speech-to-speech models skip the transcription step and run entirely on EU infrastructure.
Berlin-based Deepslate has closed a €7.7 million seed round led by Munich investor 42CAP, with Alstin Capital, existing backer SIVentures and several business angels taking part. The company builds its own speech-to-speech models, which handle spoken language directly rather than converting it to text first, focuses on European languages and hosts its technology entirely within the EU.
The money will go into model training and European data, with a focus on German street names, personal names and dialects, as well as into sales, marketing and infrastructure in European data centres.
