Whispp is happy to announce its collaboration with Dr. Matt Coler, the Director of the MSc Voice Technology program at the University of Groningen. Dr. Coler’s expertise in voice technology includes speech analysis, speaker-state detection, and the study of prosodic and paralinguistic phenomena. His linguistic knowledge covers agglutinative morphology, subtractive disfixation, and the languages of the Amazonian and Andean regions, with a focus on minoritized languages. Additionally, his work in cognition encompasses sensory perception, semiotics, phenomenology, and soundscapes. This partnership aims to harness Dr. Coler’s extensive knowledge to drive forward Whispp’s mission of enhancing voice technology solutions.
