Phoneme Combos for Artificial and Human Intelligence.

We're building the pronunciation layer of artificial intelligence.

Our Mission

A foundational layer of human identity in the age of artificial intelligence: the accurate pronunciation of names. Project Sapiens is building the world's most comprehensive database of name pronunciations and phoneme combinations to power accurate, human-centered communication between people and machines. As AI becomes embedded in daily life, we ensure it learns to say our names-correctly, globally, and inclusively.

BUILT FOR HUMANS AND AI

Powering LLMs with Precision at the Phoneme Level

As large language models continue to evolve into real-time, voice-aware systems, the need for fine-grained linguistic understanding—especially at the phoneme level—has never been more critical.

Project Sapiens is designed to provide LLM providers like Meta, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others with structured, verified datasets of global name pronunciations and phoneme combinations, enabling:

  • More accurate name recognition and generation

  • Contextually-aware speech synthesis and TTS

  • Culturally respectful human-AI interactions

  • Enhanced multilingual training datasets

Our verified phoneme combinations are available via high-performance APIs and research-grade datasets, tailored for integration into pretraining pipelines, fine-tuning processes, and real-time inference layers.

By supplying phoneme-level precision grounded in real human speech, Project Sapiens helps language models bridge the final gap between text, identity, and spoken interaction.

A NEW FOUNDATIONAL LAYER

What is the pronunciation layer?

In modern AI architecture, we often talk about foundational models, language layers, vision layers, audio layers, and interface layers. Project Sapiens introduces a missing link: the pronunciation layer. This is the layer between language understanding and spoken interaction—one that interprets and delivers names accurately across languages, dialects, and cultures.
