Overview

What Is Conversational AI?

Conversational AI powers AI virtual assistants, digital humans, and chatbots—which are paving a path to personalized, natural, human-machine conversations. But real-time interactions demand speed and accuracy. With Nemotron Speech open models and the NVIDIA Riva library, developers can build responsive speech and translation capabilities and add natural voice interfaces to agentic AI applications.

NVIDIA Nemotron Speech Models Top ASR Leaderboards

NVIDIA Canary and Parakeet models consistently hold top positions on the Artificial Analysis and Hugging Face ASR leaderboards. 

NVIDIA Riva Magpie TTS Is Available Now

Create customized voices for your agentic AI needs. With the multilingual NVIDIA Riva Magpie Text-to-Speech (TTS) NIM or the open source model available on Hugging Face, you can convert text into audio in natural-sounding male and female voices. Magpie can be customized with additional, brand-specific voices and is a great companion to the leaderboard-topping ASR models available also both as NVIDIA NIM™ and in the Hugging Face Nemotron Speech collection
