The backstory
Resemble does voice cloning, speech-to-speech and localisation with deepfake detection as a side business. The technology is good. The pressure is that realtime voice arrived inside consumer chat products, and ElevenLabs took the developer mindshare. Resemble's detection and enterprise security work is the more durable half.
