Build with maya voice
Too much infighting on languages, so I vibe coded a web app that lets you click a picture of an object & it ll teach you how to pronounce it in Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam & Marathi. Took less than 2 hrs.
Built w @openai & @mayaresearch_ai

Amazing news on India's Independence Day 🇮🇳
Maya 2 Native is ranked #1 for Hindi text-to-speech on Voice of India, the human-evaluated voice arena from @ai4bharat, @iitmadras and @JoshTalksLive
The only Made-in-India model at the top. Ahead of Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and Cartesia's Sonic-3.5, decided by 21,770 real human votes.
We started Maya at @spc in Bengaluru with one belief: the future of everything is voice, and India, the land of languages, will be the leader in building it for the world.
Today our own model is #1 in our own language, at home. Our team has trained models that hold their own against the hardest leaderboards in the world, and we are just getting started.
This is the beginning of something meant to outlast us.

You are the best judge of a voice model’s quality.
Voice is human. The leap between today’s voice models and Maya Research’s new models is something no leaderboard can capture. You have to hear it for yourself.

Maya-2-Native is the #1 streaming TTS model on the Voice Arena Hindi TTS Leaderboard 🇮🇳
In the overall leaderboard (streaming + non-streaming), a native Indian voice lab has officially broken into the top tier, debuting at rank #2 globally, moving ahead of global heavyweights like ElevenLabs v3 and Cartesia Sonic-3.5.
Maya-2-Native is the latest TTS model from @mayaresearch_ai. Built locally to capture the true texture of everyday Indian speech, it handles complex code-switching, local dialects, and natural cadence effortlessly. The model has been highly preferred among native speakers rating on Voice Arena.
Results backed by 15.5K+ human-verified, blind, head-to-head listener votes 🧵

.@Dheemanthredy says the future of AI won't be won by the first 50 million users. It'll be won by the next 5 billion.
"We're not building Maya for the top-tier consumers. We're building it for the five billion people."
"They haven't experienced technology the way we have."
"Imagine putting that technology in your grandmother's hands, and she's talking to it, doing everything you're doing."
"I'm so scared of not living in that future."

Excited to share that Maya Research has raised $1.9M from South Park Commons, our first partners in this journey.
Maya is building the voice interface for the rest of the world. For the billions who live through voice.
We are building this interface around how people actually talk in real life, how they have conversations, discover, and decide who to trust.
The rest of the world will only use the technology at this scale when it feels native, like one of their own.

voice interface is how billions of people will access ai.
the core problem is conversational ability. models that can hold real conversations in accents and dialects, the way people actually speak in their daily lives.
listen to maya’s latest voice interface.
this is maya speaking with real accents and dialects.
when i first heard it, i loved the tone of the voice. it sounds the way people actually talk. it’s hard to explain until you hear it.
the team absolutely cooked with this. a key step forward for maya’s voice interface.
