Roblox acquires voice moderation startup Speechly
20.09.2023 - 15:15 / techcrunch.com
Two years after announcing voice chat was coming to Roblox, the gaming company has acquired a voice tech startup, Speechly, offering voice chat moderation, real-time transcription and Voice API that lets companies add AI voice technology and voice interfaces to their products and experiences.
The Helsinki, Finland-based startup Speechly was founded in 2016 with the mission of enabling better computer voice interactions and communication between people online, resulting in the creation of its real-time voice moderation tech that helps reduce toxic behavior in online communities. According to its own study, nearly 70% of gamers have used voice chat at least once. But of those, 72% said they’ve experienced a toxic incident.
Roblox, meanwhile, has been expanding into voice chat-based interactions, initially by allowing developers to add voice to their games and other experiences. Instead of text bubbles that appeared over the avatar’s heads, players would be able to naturally talk to one another in real time. More recently, the company announced avatar-based voice calls with facial motion tracking, which lets Roblox users connect in a virtual space and chat live. The latter is part of Roblox’s broader efforts to cater to its aging user base by offering content and experiences for users ages 17 and up.
Speechly will help Roblox in these and other efforts by offering AI moderation tools that can handle real-time voice communication.
“Roblox is building the leading platform for 3D immersive communication and connection. Everyday 65.5 million daily active users of all ages come to Roblox to be together, experience, and create memories with friends. With the addition of new voice features, including voice chat, Roblox is solving new challenges—moderating spoken language in real time,” wrote Speechly co-founder and CTO Hannes Heikinheimo in a blog post.
“Safety and civility are foundational to Roblox. We are excited to be joining a company dedicated to safety and civility and to use our AI expertise to evolve traditional methods of moderation to meet the scale, real-time, and dynamic needs of a user-generated content (UGC) platform,” he added.
Speechly is a Y Combinator-backed company whose investors include Seedcamp, SNÖ Ventures, TQ Ventures, Berlin’s Cherry Ventures, Quantum Angels, Joyance Partners, Social Starts, Tiny.vc, Juha Paananen and Nicolas Dessaigne. The startup raised a €2 million seed round in 2019. Ahead of its acquisition, the company received SOC 2 Type II certification, which ensures its client data is handled with security, integrity and confidentiality while respecting customer privacy. This likely made it an even more attractive acquisition target.

IRacing Acquires Exclusive NASCAR Simulation License - Hardcore Gamer
Today, iRacing acquired the exclusive simulation-style console racing license for NASCAR, which was previously held by Motorsport Games Inc. The sale will see the license transfer officially from 704Games, a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorsport Games, to iRacing. Currently, iRacing offers the simulation racing experience on PC that exists based on a subscription plan where players also purchase cars with real money as they rank up. The console game, which is expected to launch in 2025, will most likely be a traditional release that is separate from how the program is run on PC. NASCAR Heat 5 and NASCAR Rivals will continue to be available and supported through 2024.
