Voice AI startup Humelo (CEO Yongseok Kwon) announced on the 7th that it will participate in the '2025 International Streaming Festival (ISF 2025)' held in Busan from August 22nd to 25th and officially unveil its next-generation voice technology 'DIVE Engine'.
ISF 2025 is a major event related to the streaming industry, co-hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and Busan Metropolitan City, with participation from domestic and international content producers, platform companies, and technology startups, focusing on the OTT and media technology industries.
Hummel will showcase its core technology at the "Investment Showcase," an official program of ISF 2025, held at the Paradise Hotel in Busan on the 23rd. This showcase is a venue for content technology startups to showcase their technologies and business models to domestic and international investors and global buyers.
Through this event, Hummel will showcase the commercial viability and technological competitiveness of its voice synthesis technology, FRTTS (Few-shot Real-time TTS). FRTTS replicates individual speakers' voices with approximately one minute of voice learning and generates multilingual dubbing in real time with a latency of less than 0.3 seconds. It supports five languages, including Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish. Hummel claims this technology contributes to reducing the time and cost of content dubbing.
Hummel will also unveil its next-generation technology, the "DIVE Engine (Deep-context Interactive Voice Engine)," for the first time at this event. This technology goes beyond simple voice synthesis, recognizing the flow of conversation and emotional context and incorporating this into the voice. Hummel explains that this technology will enhance the immersion of content requiring emotional expression and enable more natural multilingual dubbing than before.
Hummel recently joined the Korea-based ad-supported free streaming TV (K-FAST) alliance as a technology partner, validating the commercial viability of its FRTTS technology. Furthermore, it is providing opportunities for general consumers to experience the technology through its AI audio shorts platform, "Sori Studio," targeting English-speaking countries.
CEO Kwon Yong-seok said, “The DIVE Engine is the next step in AI voice technology and has high applicability in the global content industry,” adding, “The technology will be able to simultaneously strengthen the competitiveness of both creators and platforms.”
