公司披露显示,AI 听写工具公司 Wispr 已完成 2.8 亿美元 B 轮融资,投后估值 20 亿美元。本轮由 Menlo Ventures 领投。公司计划用这笔资金扩大市场覆盖,并把产品从听写延伸到会议记录等新场景。

融资后推进新场景

Wispr 过去主要以语音听写工具受到关注。随着新一轮融资落地,公司正把业务从单一听写功能,扩展到更完整的办公与人机交互场景。其新近推出的会议记录工具,已开始覆盖自动摘要和行动项整理等用途。

这一赛道的竞争也在加剧。听写领域已有 Willow、Monolouge、Aqua、Superwhisper 等产品,同时还有开发者推出更低价甚至免费的替代工具,争夺专业用户和高频用户。

新模型瞄准识别准确率

伴随融资消息,Wispr 还发布了新的语音理解模型 Canto。公司称,过去几周,部分用户曾反映 Wispr Flow 的听写质量出现下滑。新模型的目标是改善识别准确率,修复核心体验问题。

  • 本轮融资金额为 2.8 亿美元
  • 公司最新估值为 20 亿美元
  • Canto 目标将错误率降至 10% 以下

Android 与硬件合作同步推进

自去年 11 月以来,Wispr 已将听写应用推向 Android 平台,并在印度、英国等地区扩大市场团队。公司也在推进与硬件厂商合作,例如与 Oasis ring 合作,让用户在设备上进行更低声量的语音输入。

除听写外,Wispr 也在会议记录工具领域与 Granola、Fireflies、Read AI 等产品竞争。当前其工具已能生成摘要和行动项,后续仍有空间与更多办公软件打通,进一步支持文档更新或邮件草稿生成。

补充信息:上个月,Wispr 宣布成立 Wispr Interface Labs,由曾参与亚马逊 Alexa 早期开发的 Ariya Rastrow 负责,方向是探索新的人机交互界面。
