Fetched 8-K exhibit held no press release text and does not mention Nuance; the $19.7 billion price was seen only in search snippets, so no quote could be verified

Not keptweb:https://www.lw.com/en/news/latham-watkins-advises-abridge-in-us250-million-series-d-funding-round

Seen only in a search result, not fetched; its February 2025 date conflicts with an October 2024 date in another result, so the announcement date cannot be fixed from what was read

Kept, 3 figuresWispr (Wispr Flow)

Company blog posts and press reports for three rounds: $30M Series A (June 2025, reused), $25M Series A extension (November 2025), $280M Series B (August 2026). The Yapify acquisition gives no price, so it is not a row.

Kept, 4 figuresDeepgram

Four disclosed rounds from the company's January 2026 release, a November 2022 TechCrunch report, and investor reprints of company announcements for 2021 and 2020. The OfOne acquisition states no price. An unsourced August 2026 extension from one aggregator is excluded.

Kept, 2 figuresAssemblyAI

Series A $28M (March 2022) from the company's own blog, and Series C $50M (December 2023), reused from the existing SiliconANGLE fact. No Series B was found in a company or news source. Price and language pages are not rows here.

Kept, 1 figureSpeechmatics funding rounds

Speechmatics' own news page gives a $62m Series B led by Susquehanna Growth Equity, dated 2022-06-28. Excluded: the 2019 Series A is stated only as £6.35m with no US-dollar figure on the page, and no 2025 or 2026 round was found.

Kept, 1 figureGladia funding rounds

Gladia's Series A press release (PR Newswire, Oct. 15, 2024, reprinted on reworked.co) gives USD $16 million led by XAnge. Excluded: the 2023 seed (reported as $4M by news outlets, not on an official page; the release names the seed investors without amounts), and OVHcloud's 2026 acquisition, whose release states only 1,807,186 shares at EUR 15.66 each, with no US-dollar price.

Kept, 4 figuresElevenLabs funding rounds (speech and voice AI)

ElevenLabs' own blog gives four rounds: $19m Series A (2023-06-20), $80m Series B (2024-01-22), $180m Series C (2025-01-30) and $500m Series D (2026-02-04). Excluded: the roughly $2m pre-seed (no official page found), the September 2025 secondary sale at $6.6B (a share sale, not money raised by the company) and the May 2026 third close of the Series D (reported only by aggregators).

Not keptWillow Voice funding rounds

No official funding figure: willowvoice.com home and blog state no funding, and /press and /about return 404. Only news and database listings (Dealroom, TheSaaSNews, Signalbase, VCBacked) report a $4.2M seed led by BoxGroup, dated 2025-07 or 2026-08 (unresolved), so no row from an official page

Not keptTypeless or other dictation app seed rounds

No amount disclosed: typeless.com about page states no funding and has no press page; PitchBook lists a Typeless seed (Hat-trick Capital and StartX, 2026-03) with no amount. No other dictation app announced a seed amount on its own domain (Wispr Flow's own announcements are Series A and later; Aqua Voice's $500K pre-seed is news-only)

Not keptAugnito funding rounds

No amount disclosed: augnito.ai press, newsroom and blog state no funding. The only investor item, a June 2024 strategic investment by Dharmendra Ghai, has no amount per news snippets, and the $7.2M total is an unverified aggregator figure

Not keptSanas funding rounds

Sanas's own pages (press, blog, about, and the April 14, 2026 Tomato.ai acquisition post) state no round amount, and the Tomato.ai post gives no price. The $65M Series B (February 2025) and $32M Series A (2022) appear only in news and aggregator reports, so no row is written.

Not keptNotta or Airgram funding rounds

The Notta pages reached (about, home, blog) state no round amount, and airgram.ai did not resolve. The Series B (about 2.3 billion yen, $15M, December 2025), the 2025 Series A (990 million yen) and the $10M Airgram Series A (August 2022) appear only in news and aggregator reports. No acquisition is reported.

Kept, 2 figuresTrint funding rounds

Trint's own blog posts state two disclosed rounds: US$3.1 million in Pre-Series A funding (June 8, 2017 dateline, led by Horizons Labs) and a $4.5 million Series A (April 11, 2019, led by private and institutional investors including Horizons Labs, TechNexus and Associated Press). Neither post states a valuation or a cumulative total.

Not keptHappy Scribe funding

No official funding figure: the Happy Scribe homepage and its /about link (which redirects to a careers page) state no round, investor or amount raised, and the press page refused automated reads. Tracxn and EU-Startups list no funding; a Caplight headline about a $16M Series A does not name Happy Scribe.

Not keptSonix funding

No official funding figure: the Sonix about and press pages contain no funding, investor or acquisition statement. The only leads, a $100K seed and an Xcellerant Ventures investment, come from aggregators (Signal Base, CB Insights) with no date, and Latka describes the company as bootstrapped.

Not keptPicovoice funding

No official funding figure: the Picovoice company and blog pages contain no funding, investor or acquisition statement. The December 2020 angel round ($390K in CB Insights, about $0.5M in Preqin and Persana) comes only from databases that disagree on amount and date.

Not keptKyutai founding funding (non-profit lab, donors)

Not a row: Kyutai's own launch press release (17 November 2023) states the founding money only in euros (each of iliad and CMA CGM contributed €100 million; nearly €300 million invested in total) and gives no US dollar figure, which the dataset unit requires. Schmidt Futures' amount is not stated. The release also describes a non-profit lab for open research on large multimodal models (text, sound

Not keptAccurx

Voice is a side feature, not the main product, of the rounds that exist: the 2019 Series A (£8.8M, TechCrunch) and the 2021 Series B (£27.5M, about $38M per a Forbes report reposted on accurx.com/press) were raised for a patient messaging and vaccine booking platform for GP practices, and the £ figures cannot be stated in US dollars without an outside exchange rate. accurx.com/press lists no round

Not keptSindre Sorhus

No official funding figure: the aiko page at sindresorhus.com/aiko states only a $24 one-time purchase, App Store links and a privacy policy, with no round, investor or acquisition. Searches for Sindre Sorhus with Aiko returned only unrelated companies named Aiko.

Not keptAlibaba Cloud

Speech recognition is a side feature of a general cloud platform, so its rounds and acquisitions do not qualify; the Model Studio page states no funding or acquisition. The only deal found, Alibaba's 2018 acquisition of Sound Connect, has no price in what I could read and comes from CB Insights, not from Alibaba's announcement.

Not keptAmazon Web Services

Official Transcribe page (aws.amazon.com/transcribe) states prices, languages and accuracy but no funding or acquisition amount; AWS is Amazon's cloud division, not a speech company, and its only reported speech deal (Evi, 2013, $26M) is unconfirmed sources' figure with Amazon as buyer

Kept, 1 figureAmberscript

Own November 2021 press release states a $10m Series A led by Endeit Capital (one row); the 2018 seed amount and the February 2023 acquisitions of abtipper.de and uitgetypt.nl have no disclosed amount

Not keptAmical

Official homepage and documentation state no funding, investors or acquisition; the only amount found ($3.7M raised) comes from an unsourced EveryDev aggregator listing, not an official or news statement

Not keptAdvanced Media

Official AmiVoice history page and Advanced Media IR notices give no disclosed amount for any deal: the June 2005 Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers listing and the 2014 wholly owned subsidiary Shorthand Center Tsukuba have no figures, and the April 6, 2026 notice on acquiring feat (a software testing firm, not a speech product) says the purchase price is not disclosed at the counterparty's request

Not keptApple

Apple's SpeechAnalyzer documentation page (Markdown version) states no funding, acquisition or price figure, and Apple's main product is not speech recognition, so no Apple deal qualifies under the include rule

Not keptAqua Voice, Inc.

Aqua Voice's own home, pricing, Windows, privacy and blog pages state no funding round or acquisition amount; its press, news and about pages return 404. Seed-round figures appear only on third-party aggregator sites, which the official-page rule excludes

Not keptAudionotes

No official page states a round or acquisition: the homepage, pricing and privacy pages name no investors. The only figure ($670.00K raised, 2023 seed) comes from an aggregator profile (Bounce Watch), not from the company, a buyer or a news report, so it is not a row.

Not keptNicheless, Inc.

No funding round, acquisition or IPO found for Nicheless or AudioPen. The official pricing, FAQ and privacy pages state no financing, and the news search returned only unrelated Livescribe results and a store listing that names Nicheless, Inc. as publisher with no financial details.

Kept, 1 figureAvoma

Avoma's own blog announces a $12M Series A led by Headline, dated December 22, 2021, which is a disclosed round of a meeting-notes company.

Not keptBaidu

No speech-recognition round or acquisition found. The official Baidu Speech page (ai.baidu.com/tech/speech) lists call prices and no financing. Baidu's main product is search, so it is not a company whose main product is speech recognition. The only financing found, the 2020 Series A and B of its voice assistant unit Xiaodu, disclosed no amount.

Kept, 1 figureBee

TechCrunch (July 29, 2024) reports Bee raised $7 million in a round led by Exor, a disclosed seed round of a wearable voice AI company. Bee's own pages state no financing, so the row rests on the news report. Amazon's 2025 acquisition of Bee has no disclosed price (SiliconANGLE: 'for an undisclosed price'), so it is not a row.

Not keptBetterDictation

No funding round, acquisition or investor found. The official home page (betterdictation.com) states prices ($39 lifetime, Pro at $2 a month billed annually) and no financing. Searches return only funding for other dictation apps, such as Wispr Flow, which is a different company.

Not keptBigHand

No funding round or acquisition price on BigHand's own pages (homepage, news index, About page checked 2026-10-19). Its news post 'BigHand Acquires Ayora' gives no amount, and Ayora is a legal pricing AI firm, not a speech company. The Bridgepoint and Levine Leichtman ownership deals appear only in press reports, which this target's own-page search does not admit.

Not keptBluedot

No funding round or acquisition on Bluedot's own pages (homepage, blog index checked 2026-10-19; /about and /press return 404). Its only disclosed raises (pre-seed and angel rounds in 2024) appear in third-party press reports, which this target's own-page search does not admit.

Not keptHyathi Technologies Private Limited

BossAI's own pages (home, About, checked 2026-10-19) name Hyathi Technologies Private Limited as developer but state no funding round, investor or acquisition amount; /press returns 404. Search results tie BOSS AI (a different Nashville company, acquired by Blattner Technologies in 2022) to no Hyathi deal, so no row is recorded.

Kept, 2 figuresOtter.ai funding rounds

Otter's own press page lists a $10M Series A (as AISense, Nov 2017) and a $50M Series B led by Spectrum Equity (Feb 2021); its list has no funding release after 2021, and no later primary round was found.

Kept, 2 figuresFireflies.ai funding rounds

Fireflies' own blog gives a $5M seed led by Canaan Partners (Oct 2019) and a $14m Series A led by Khosla Ventures (May 2021); a 2025 $1 billion valuation came from a secondary tender, not a round, so it is not a row, and no later primary round was found.

Kept, 2 figuresFathom (AI notetaker) funding rounds

Fathom's own press releases give a $4.7M seed (Jan 2022, no lead named) and a $17M Series A led by Telescope Partners (Sept 2024); a May 2026 CVS Health Ventures investment has no disclosed amount and is reported for an autonomous medical coding business, so it is excluded.

Not keptBrainasoft

No funding round, acquisition or IPO on the official Braina pages (brainasoft.com/braina/ and download.html, read 2026-10). They list Lite, Pro, Pro Plus and Pro Ultra prices and features, and the footer only names Brainasoft as the trademark owner. Product prices are not rows of this dataset.

Not keptChidi Williams

No funding round, investor, acquisition or sponsorship amount on the official Buzz pages (the README, chidiwilliams.github.io/buzz and its docs, read 2026-10). Buzz is an MIT-licensed open-source app with no company or investor named. Its license and feature facts are not rows of this dataset.

Not keptHaujetZhao

No funding round, sponsor amount or acquisition on the official CapsWriter-Offline repository page (github.com/HaujetZhao/CapsWriter-Offline, read 2026-10). The repository has no GitHub Sponsors button enabled, and the README text it renders names no investor or buyer. The raw README URL did not return text, so the rendered page was read instead.

Not keptChar

No disclosed amount. Char's own pages (char.com home, the 'Hyprnote is now Char' post, privacy policy) say only 'Backed by Y Combinator' with no figure, and the YC company page lists the Summer 2025 batch with no amount. The $500K seed dated January 2025 appears only in third-party trackers, so it is not counted.

Not keptWhamp

No funding round or acquisition. The Chirp README on GitHub (github.com/Whamp/chirp-stt) describes a local Windows dictation app and states no funding, grant, sponsorship or company behind it, and no news report or announcement of a round or acquisition was found.

Kept, 1 figureCircleback

Circleback's own blog post (November 26, 2024) states it raised $2.5M in seed funding from Y Combinator, Rebel Fund, Pioneer Fund and Transpose Platform, with TechCrunch reporting the same amount. The homepage and pricing page give only 'Backed by Y Combinator' and prices, which are not dataset rows. No later round was found in searches, and the other rounds in CB Insights have no disclosed amount

Not keptCleft

No disclosed funding or acquisition. Cleft's own home page at cleftnotes.com lists press quotes and app awards but no investor, round or amount, and searches of news and app-store listings found no seed round or sale (the App Store publisher is Cleft AI Limited). Its pricing and privacy pages state prices and data handling, not money raised, so they yield no row.

Not keptCloudflare

Cloudflare's main product is not speech recognition, so it is not a company the dataset covers. Its Workers AI speech-to-text is one hosted Whisper model among many, a side feature. Its Workers AI model page at developers.cloudflare.com names no funding round, investor or acquisition. The one recent deal found, the plan to acquire the AI model platform Replicate (November 2025), is not a speech co

Not keptNAVER

NAVER's main product is search and portal services, and CLOVA Note is one service among many, so voice is a side feature. The official CLOVA Note page (clovanote.naver.com, Korean) states no investment, round or acquisition, and searches in English and Korean found no funding or sale of CLOVA Note itself. The 2017 acquisition of Company AI for the Clova platform is not a deal in a speech company's

Not keptOpen Software Network

Official Clovy page (opensoftware.co/clovy) and OpenSoftware privacy policy state no funding round, acquisition or amount; the only backer mention is a 'Backed by' logo strip with no amount. Web search found no disclosed round, and its hits were unrelated companies (OpenClovis, Clovyr).

Not keptEmil Lykke Grann

Codictate homepage and privacy page state no funding round, acquisition or amount; the author's name appears only in the page's structured data. Web search found no round or acquisition for Codictate or its author.

Not keptErtiqah, LLC.

Contextli home, pricing and privacy pages state plan prices and data practices only, with no funding round, acquisition or amount. Web search found no record for Contextli or Ertiqah, LLC.

Not keptActionPower (maker of daglo, https://daglo.ai/)

One disclosed round, a Series B of 6 billion won announced on 5 March 2026 on daglo's own newsroom, but not yet a row: the page gives no US dollar amount, and the official won-to-dollar rate for that date could not be fetched, so the figure cannot be stated in million US dollars. No acquisition found.

Not keptDeepInfra (maker of DeepInfra speech-to-text, https://deepinfra.com/openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo)

A disclosed $107 million Series B announced on 4 May 2026, but DeepInfra's main product is a general inference cloud for many model types, and speech recognition is one hosted category, so voice is a side feature. No acquisition found.

Not keptSmartBids.ai Corp. (maker of DictaFlow, https://dictaflow.io)

No disclosed funding round or acquisition: the dictaflow.io home page names no investor, round, price or buyer, and searches of the news for SmartBids.ai Corp. and DictaFlow found none (a result for a different company, SmartBid, is unrelated).

Not keptDictation Daddy

Official site (dictationdaddy.com) states no funding round or acquisition, and web searches find no investor, round or buyer; its prices are not rows of this dataset.

Not keptDictato

Official site (dicta.to, including its privacy page) states no funding round or acquisition, and web searches find no investor, round or buyer; its prices are not rows of this dataset.

Kept, 1 figureNuance (Microsoft)

Acquisition by Microsoft at $19.7 billion, announced 2021-04-12; reuses the staged fact from Microsoft's own announcement because Nuance's Dragon Anywhere page states no amount.

Kept, 1 figureMicrosoft (Nuance)

Dragon Copilot product page states no funding, price or acquisition figure. The Nuance acquisition is in Microsoft's own 12 April 2021 release: an all-cash price of $19.7 billion including net debt (reused fact). The 2022 completion release gives no amount, so no row.

Not keptEnviousWispr

Its own page (enviouswispr.com, published by Envious Labs) describes a free, open-source Mac app with no subscription and states no funding, round or acquisition. It is a separate product from Wispr Flow, so Wispr's rounds are not its rows.

Not keptfal

Its Whisper model page states a price of $0 per compute second and no funding or acquisition. Whisper is one model in fal's hosted model gallery, so speech recognition is a side feature of the company, and its rounds do not count as rows.

Kept, 2 figuresFathom Video

Two disclosed rounds, both reused from the existing facts: $4.7M seed (January 2022) and $17M Series A led by Telescope Partners (September 2024), each in a Business Wire release of Fathom's; no fathom.video page states a round and no acquisition was found

Not keptFeishu

Official Feishu Minutes page (feishu.cn) states no funding round or price; Feishu is a ByteDance business unit rather than a separately funded company, and the ByteDance purchases found (Hipacloud, Mubu, Sortime) were not speech companies

Not keptFellow

Fellow's own about page states a $6.5 M seed round (2019) and $24M Series A (2021), but at those rounds it sold meeting management software; its AI note-taking from speech launched in 2023, so voice was not its main product when those rounds were raised

Not keptFireworks AI

Its own home page describes the company as a "state of the art training and inference platform" for open models (fireworks.ai, read 2026-10-19), and its audio transcription is one product among many. Voice is a side feature, so its rounds are not rows. Its home, blog and team pages state no round amount, acquisition or IPO raise.

Not keptFlint

Its home page, blog and privacy policy (flintvoice.app, read 2026-10-19) state no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount raised. The blog has no funding post, and the about and pricing URLs return 404. Its plan prices are consumer app prices, which this dataset does not record.

Not keptAltic

Altic's home page (altic.dev, read 2026-10-19) presents Altic as a studio of on-device Mac software, and fluidvoice.com states no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount raised. The altic.dev/about and fluidvoice.com/blog URLs return 404, and the FluidVoice labs page gives no financing. No disclosed amount, so no row.

Not keptFnScribe

Official home and privacy pages (fnscribe.com) describe a free Mac dictation app with no account and no subscription, and state no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount raised; its prices and privacy claims are not rows of this dataset.

Kept, 1 figureFreed

Its own press release (getfreed.ai/press, originally distributed via Business Wire on March 17, 2025) states a $30 million Series A led by Sequoia Capital; the company's story page gives the same round and lead. No acquisition or other round is stated.

Not keptFreestyle

Official home, pricing, privacy and blog pages (freestylevoice.com) state plan prices, model options and data handling, and no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount raised; no row.

Kept, 4 figuresGranola (AI notepad) funding rounds

Granola's own blog gives a $20M Series A led by Spark Capital (Oct 2024, already in the catalog) and a $125M Series C led by Index Ventures (Mar 2026); a $43M Series B led by NFDG (May 2025) is in a news report, and a $4.25M seed (May 2023) is in a news article, since neither round has a Granola page here. Granola's pricing page has no funding figures, so it gives no rows.

Kept, 2 figuresRead AI funding rounds

Read AI's own blog gives a $21M Series A led by Goodwater Capital (Apr 2024) and a $50M Series B led by Smash Capital (Oct 2024), both with the date printed on the page. No later round was found.

Not kepttl;dv funding rounds

The only disclosed round is a €4.3M seed led by K Fund (June 2022), reported in euros by tech.eu; no official tl;dv page or news source gives a US dollar figure, and the aggregators that show $4.5M convert without a stated rate, so no row is made. A CB Insights $0.93M bridge (Nov 2023) is not on any page read.

Not keptmatthartman

The official GitHub README (github.com/matthartman/ghost-pepper, read 2026-10-19) states no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount raised for Ghost Pepper or its maker. Its only dollar figure is that other apps have raised $80M to build, which names no company and no round, so it is not a row. The maker's GitHub profile page (github.com/matthartman) also states no financing.

Not keptGlaido

Glaido's official pages (glaido.com home, /pricing, /privacy-policy, /business, /faq and the /blog listing, read 2026-10-19) state no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount raised. The privacy policy's standard merger and asset-sale clause names no deal or price, and Groq appears there as a service provider, not an investor. The glaido.com/about URL returns 404.

Not keptGlimpse

Glimpse's official pages (tryglimpse.cc home, /about/, /privacy/, /blog/ and /faq/, read 2026-10-19) state no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount raised. Its home page and privacy page give product and data terms only, so no row-worthy figure is stated.

Not keptGood Tape

No official figure: goodtape.io (home, pricing, privacy policy, news and about pages) states no funding round or acquisition. The only amount found is EUR 600,000 (about 600K euros), reported by press (TheSaaSNews, 2026-10-05; DRNO), not by the company, and it is in euros, which would need an exchange-rate source.

Not keptGoogle Cloud

No row: Google Cloud is a division of Alphabet, not a company that raised funding, and its main product is not speech recognition (cloud computing). Its speech acquisitions (API.ai, 2016; DNNresearch, 2013) were made by Google with terms not disclosed, and the Mobvoi stake (2015) was a minority investment, not an acquisition, with no amount. The official Speech-to-Text pages were not re-read for t

Not keptGoTranscript

No official figure: gotranscript.com (about page, rates and jobs pages) states no funding round, investor or acquisition. Crunchbase lists two funding events dated Jan 1, 1970 with placeholder text, so they are not usable as dated disclosed amounts.

Kept, 1 figureGradium

Official blog announcement of July 8, 2026 states the seed financing was extended to $100 million; it gives only the cumulative total, not the extension's own size, and names no lead.

Not keptGrain

No official figure: the grain.com home, blog and pricing pages state no funding round or acquisition; the $16M Series A (2022) appears only in news and tracker reports, which this job does not accept.

Not keptGroq

Out of scope: its newsroom announces rounds ($650M, June 22, 2026; $350M Series A, August 17, 2026), but its main product is an AI inference cloud and chips, and speech-to-text is one model among many, so voice is a side feature.

Not keptCJ Pais (maker of Handy, https://handy.computer)

No funding round, acquisition or IPO on handy.computer, its /about page or the official GitHub repository; the only money named is a GitHub Sponsors page and four sponsor logos, which are not disclosed rounds. Handy itself is free and open source.

Not keptHedy (maker of Hedy, https://www.hedy.ai/)

The official about page describes Hedy AI as "bootstrapped, profitable, and based in Portland, Oregon", and neither its news nor its pages list a round or acquisition. Its dollar figures are subscription prices and sample meeting content, not deals.

Not keptKit Langton (maker of Hex, https://hex.kitlangton.com)

The official Hex page (hex.kitlangton.com) shows the download, version 2.2.0 and the Apple silicon, macOS 15+ requirement, with no funding round, acquisition or IPO.

Not keptprimaprashant

No funding round, acquisition or IPO on the official pages read 2026-10-19 (hns-cli.dev and hns-cli.dev/docs/); the /about page does not exist. Only product and privacy claims, which are not rows.

Not keptNS EC Holdings, LLC

No funding round, acquisition or IPO on the official pages read 2026-10-19 (holdtotalk.com, its privacy policy, and its press kit at /press/). The $10 per month Pro price is not a row.

Not keptHyperWhisper

No funding round, acquisition or IPO on the official pages read 2026-10-19 (homepage, data privacy docs, blog index and open-source page). Credit prices and the free tier are not rows.

Not kepthyprwhspr

No funding round, acquisition or IPO on the official pages read 2026-10-19 (hyprwhspr.com, its docs and its privacy page). The privacy page says it is built by a single developer with no investors, and the home page mentions only optional donations, which are not rounds.

Not keptIBM

IBM is not a company whose main product is speech recognition, and its product page read 2026-10-19 has no funding or deal figure. No IBM acquisition of a speech company with a disclosed price turned up in search; the Nuance and IMSI speech licensing deals had undisclosed terms. The Lite and Plus plan figures are product facts, not rows.

Kept, 1 figureiFlytek

iFlytek's own CNINFO filing of 22 June 2026 states gross proceeds of 3,999,999,986.84 yuan from its April 2026 share issue to 14 investors, converted to 580.7 million US dollars at 6.8880 yuan per dollar. The home page of iflyrec.com has no funding statement. Earlier placements and the 2008 IPO were not checked against official filings and are not recorded.

Not keptJamie

No disclosed amount for any round or acquisition. Its own pages (meetjamie.ai and /about, read 2026-10-19) list customers, a 'Backed by' investor logo list and pricing, but no funding figure. Its 2022 blog review says 'by mid-2022, we closed our pre-seed round with great angels on board' for its predecessor TeamTap, with no amount (undisclosed, so no row). Two seed figures (1.0 and 1.5 million) on

Not keptOpen Planet Software

No disclosed funding round, investor or acquisition. Its own site (openplanetsoftware.com, read 2026-10-19) describes a small studio that makes apps for Apple devices and states no investors, round or sale; its privacy policy and product page state product facts only. News and profile searches found no round or sale for the company. The 2019 Planet Software acquisition by QSR International on CB I

Not keptKoe

No disclosed funding round, investor or acquisition. The official home page koe.li (read 2026-10-19) describes a native macOS voice input tool and names no investors, funding round, sale or price. Searches found no round or sale; the 'Koe' companies in profile databases are unrelated, and the open-source project is not shown to have raised money.

Not keptLazyTyper (maker of LazyTyper, https://lazytyper.com)

No funding round or acquisition on lazytyper.com or its privacy policy; the home page describes the app as free with no ads and names no investor, buyer or amount. Web searches for LazyTyper funding or acquisition found only directory and review pages, and no disclosed round.

Not keptLeexi (maker of Leexi, https://www.leexi.ai/en/)

The official press room says Leexi chose to grow without raising outside money: "We chose to grow without raising a single euro". Its About page says the founders self-financed Leexi in 2021 with no amount. A one-million-euro offer declined in 2024 is a valuation offer, not a round, so it is not a row.

Not keptLemonfox.ai (maker of Lemonfox.ai Speech-to-Text API, https://www.lemonfox.ai/)

The home page and About page name no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount; they cover API pricing only, such as $5 per month for 10 million credits. Web searches for Lemonfox.ai funding or acquisition found only other speech companies.

Not keptLetterly

No funding round or acquisition on letterly.app, its help center, its blog or its App Store listing. The pages state prices, plans and data handling only, and the home page names no investor, buyer or amount.

Not keptLexacom (Aprobrium)

No funding round or acquisition on lexacom.co.uk. The About, History and News pages describe the founders and customer numbers with no investor, buyer or amount. The 2017 Microtest deal in the catalog is an integration partnership with no price.

Not keptLyrebird Health

Official announcement of a $12 million first venture round (June 10, 2025), led by Five V Capital and Octopus Ventures, but the post writes "$12 million" with no currency. Lyrebird is Australian, so the figure may be in Australian dollars, and the dataset is in US dollars. Kept as a fact without a row until a source states the US dollar amount.

Not keptMacParakeet (maker of MacParakeet, https://macparakeet.com)

No funding round or acquisition on the official home page or privacy policy; the home page describes the app as free and open-source under GPL-3.0 with no paid tier. Those pages give product claims only, no deal amounts.

Not keptJordi Bruin (maker of MacWhisper, https://www.macwhisper.com/)

The official site says MacWhisper is 'Built by Jordi Bruin and friends at Good Snooze in the Netherlands' and lists prices (Free at 0 euros, Pro at 64 euros paid once), but states no funding round, investor or acquisition. The price figures are not dataset rows.

Not keptMaestra (maker of Maestra, https://maestra.ai/)

The official About Us page says only 'Founded in 2018' and states no funding round, investor or acquisition. Third-party profiles disagree (one lists $2M total raised with no dates, another says no funding), and none is an official page, so no row can be sourced.

Kept, 4 figuresAbridge funding rounds (clinical scribe)

Abridge's own press releases and blog give four disclosed rounds: $30M Series B (Oct 26, 2023), $150M Series C (Feb 23, 2024), $250M Series D (Feb 17, 2025) and $300M Series E (June 23, 2025). The Series A-1 ($12.5M, 2022) and earlier rounds appear only in news and tracker pages, so no row is made for them.

Kept, 2 figuresNabla funding rounds

Nabla's own press releases give a $24M Series B initial close (Jan 5, 2024, led by Cathay Innovation) and a $70M Series C (June 17, 2025, led by HV Capital). No official page or dated release for an earlier Series A was found; the only figure is an undated €17.0m on Dealroom, so no row is made.

Kept, 1 figureSuki AI funding rounds

Suki's own press page gives a $90M Series E (Oct 13, 2026), which names no lead investor. The $70M Series D (Oct 2024) and the $55M Series C (2021) have no official copy reachable here: the Business Wire release would not load and suki.ai has no page for them, so only news reports state them and no rows are made.

Not keptMeetGeek (maker of MeetGeek, https://meetgeek.ai/)

Read 2026-10 on meetgeek.ai, /about and /pricing: no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount. The 'Venture Capital' items are customer-segment labels. A web search result reports a EUR 1.6 million round in September 2025 (Romania Insider), but it is not on MeetGeek's own pages and the article was not opened, so it is not recorded.

Not keptMeetily (maker of Meetily, https://meetily.ai/)

Read 2026-10 on meetily.ai, /about, /pricing and /pro: the site names no funding round, investor, acquisition or amount. Its About page describes a team of consultants and engineers who built the tool; its only prices are the Pro plan ($10 per user per month) and the MIT Community Edition, which are not funding figures. Web searches found no funding or acquisition report.

Not keptMentalyc (maker of Mentalyc, https://www.mentalyc.com/)

Read 2026-10 on mentalyc.com, /about, /pricing and the founder story: no funding amount. The About page has an 'Investors and partners' heading, but the names are logo images with no text. The founder story says the founders pitched at the Berkeley SkyDeck Demo Day (2022) with no amount. A third-party listing reports a $200K convertible note in 2022; it is not on the company's pages, so it is not

The one qualifying deal in the family is Microsoft's all-cash $19.7 billion purchase of Nuance (announced 2021-04-12), recorded with lead Microsoft as the buyer's own announcement names it; its fact

Not keptMistral AI (maker of Mistral Voxtral Transcribe, https://mistral.ai/news/voxtral-transcribe-2)

Read 2026-10 on the Voxtral Transcribe 2 page: it states prices ($0.003 per minute for Transcribe V2) and no funding round, investor, valuation or acquisition. Voxtral is sold beside Le Chat, Mistral's general assistant, so voice is a side feature of the company and its rounds fall under the dataset's exclude rule; no round figure was recorded.

Kept, 2 figuresModulate (maker of Modulate Velma Transcribe, https://www.modulate.ai/api/speech-to-text)

Read 2026-10 on modulate.ai/api/speech-to-text and the company's own press release and 2022 blog: a $25 million round led by Future Ventures (announced 2026-09-28, no series label) and a $30 million Series A led by Lakestar (announced 2022-08-16). The product page's prices ($0.025 to $0.03 per hour) are customer prices, not funding, so they are not recorded. No acquisition by or of Modulate was fo

Official homepage at murmure.app and its GitHub repository state no funding round or acquisition; no funding or sale report found in search

Not keptNAVER Cloud

NAVER Cloud's own CLOVA Speech product page states no investment, round or acquisition. NAVER Cloud is the cloud business, and speech is one service among many, so it is not a speech company. The July 2026 $1 billion NVIDIA investment went into NAVER Corp, a search and portal company, so it is not a speech deal. No NAVER Cloud purchase of a speech company was found in English or Korean searches, a

Not keptideasman42

ideasman42 is the individual maintainer of nerd-dictation, a free offline Linux project, not a company. The GitHub page for the repository shows no sponsor button, and the README has no funding, sponsorship, price or sale wording. Searches found no investment, round or acquisition, so there is no company to take money.

Kept, 2 figuresNoota

Noota's own About page states that in 2025 it raised 3 million euros in a round led by Blast Club, with Sharpstone and Bpifrance. The company is a Paris AI meeting-notes business, so it is a meeting-notes company. The amount is converted at the ECB rate for 27 May 2025 to 3.4 million US dollars, and the month comes from a news report dated 27 May 2025. The CB Insights and VCBacked amounts for the

Not keptkaixxx

Official GitHub page (github.com/kaixxx/noScribe) states no funding round, investment, acquisition or amount. The project is maintained by one individual developer, and its only financing mention is an unquantified Ko-Fi donation link. No row.

Not keptNotion

Official AI Meeting Notes page (notion.com/product/ai-meeting-notes) states no funding or acquisition amount. Notion is a workspace company where voice meeting notes are a side feature, so its reported rounds (for example $275M in October 2021) are excluded under the side-feature rule.

Not keptOM SYSTEM

Official ODMS Cloud page (audiosupport.omsystem.com/en/?p=5388) states no funding, investment or acquisition amount. OM Digital Solutions is a camera company and ODMS is a side product. Its 2020 sale to JIP has no disclosed price, and the 2026 management buyout has no disclosed amount, so no row.

Kept, 1 figureBased Hardware

Omi's own blog post dated January 30, 2025 states that Omi raised $2 million from Tim Draper, with participation from the Dropbox co-founder, 468 Capital and Embedding VC. The stage is not labeled, so it is filed as unlabeled. Omi is an AI wearable that captures what is said and responds to voice, so it is filed as voice AI, a judgment call. Two trackers list the same raise as pre-seed or a $700,0

Not keptOpenbroca

Openbroca's home page, pricing page and privacy policy state no funding round, investor, acquisition or purchase price; the prices and free-plan quota are product terms, not deal amounts. Standard and extended searches found no round, investor or acquisition, and no company entity behind the Mac app was named.

Not keptOpenLess

The GitHub README of Open-Less/openless says only that OpenLess 'is sustained by the generous support of its sponsors' and names no amount, round, investor or buyer; the repository's sponsor button is off. Searches found no round or acquisition, and no company announcement exists for this open-source app.

Not keptStarmel

The Starmel GitHub profile names no company, website, investor or buyer; it shows only a personal bio, and the OpenSuperWhisper repository page describes a macOS dictation app with no funding or sale. Standard and extended searches found no round or acquisition. A PitchBook profile named Starmel describes an unrelated hotel holding company and is not used. No disclosed amount, so no row.

Not keptOpenTypeless

The official About page (opentypeless.com/en/about) describes the builder as a solo independent developer, names no company entity, and states no investors, funding or sale. Standard and extended searches found no round or acquisition. The Pro ($4.99 a month) and Lifetime ($89.99) prices are product prices, not deal amounts, so they are not rows. No disclosed amount, so no row.

Not keptOpenWhispr

The official site (openwhispr.com) shows a 'Backed by' logo for a16z Speedrun and a footer naming Gizmo Labs Inc., but states no amount, round size, investor terms or acquisition price. Extended searches found no news report stating an amount for Gizmo Labs or OpenWhispr. A Tracxn profile calls it unfunded, but that is a data aggregator, not the company's own page, so it is not used. Backing witho

Not keptOracle

Oracle's official speech page (oracle.com/artificial-intelligence/speech) states no funding round or acquisition price; its only money figure is a US$300 free-tier cloud credit. Oracle's main product is not speech, and its 2019 acquisition of speak.ai, reported in an Oracle Digital Assistant blog post, states no price in any source found (the blog page was not readable here).

The official page (otranscribe.com) describes a free web app and states no funding or price. The 2018 transfer of oTranscribe to the MuckRock Foundation and DocumentCloud, a nonprofit, is reported with no price, and press names the creator as Elliot Bentley, not Elias Schneider.

Not keptBurlis Management GmbH

Paraspeech's official home, pricing, docs and privacy pages (paraspeech.com) state no funding round or acquisition, and a search for Burlis Management GmbH or Paraspeech found no disclosed round, buyer or amount. Its official figures (prices, language count) are product facts, not rows of this funding dataset.

Not keptSpeech Processing Solutions

The only deal found is SPS's 2021 acquisition of 4voice AG, a German speech-to-text provider; the announcement and the press summaries found state no purchase price, and the release page itself was not readable here. No funding round was found for SPS, and SpeechLive is an SPS product rather than a separate acquisition.

Not keptPhonexia

The only money-related event found is a change of ownership announced on 15 December 2025 by Brno University of Technology's faculty, with the company now held by the South Korean fund Crescendo Equity Partners; no amount is disclosed. Phonexia's main product is voice analytics and biometrics, with speech-to-text as one product, and no funding round was found.

Not keptPithflow

No funding round or acquisition found: no press release, investor page or news item for a company behind Pithflow, and the official pricing and privacy pages (pithflow.com) state no amount raised or paid. Its official figures (free plan, Pro at $9.99, Team at $45, data retention) are product facts, not dataset rows.

Not keptRekody

No funding round or acquisition found: Rekody is described as a free and open-source Mac dictation app, and no investor, round or buyer appears on rekody.com or in news search. Its official figures (free price, offline speech model, no servers receiving audio) are product facts, not dataset rows.

Not keptReplicate

Voice is a side feature: replicate.com describes itself as 'Run AI with an API' for general models, and the whisper page is one hosted model among many. The $40 million Series B (December 2023, led by Andreessen Horowitz, per a law-firm write-up, not Replicate's own post) therefore falls under the exclusion for companies where voice is a side feature.

No funding figure on deepscribe.ai or its blog was found, and the Business Wire release of the $30M Series A would not load, so that round is quoted from TechCrunch (Jan 12, 2022, led by Index Ventures).

Ambience's own release (July 29, 2025) confirms the $243M Series C co-led by Oak HC/FT and Andreessen Horowitz.

No acquisition found. No row from off

Not keptRimo

The official rimo.app homepage, company page and news list (read 2026-10-19) state no funding round or acquisition.

The official About page (riverside.com/about, read 2026-10-19) states 'Riverside just announced a beefy $35 million Series B', but Riverside's main product is a remote recording platform for podcasts and video interviews, and transcription is one of its AI features, so voice is a side feature under the exclude rule.

The About page describes the app as built by an indie developer, and it spells the name 'Vadim Ahmerov'.

Not keptNikse

The official nikse.dk donation page says 'all my programs are free' and asks for PayPal donations, with no amount raised, investor or sale.

Tandem's own news list gives three disclosed round amounts in dollars: $9.5 million (June 2024), $50 million (June 2025) and $100 million led by the Scaleup Europe Fund managed by EQT (September 2026). The rounds are unlabeled on the company's own pages.

No round amount on Rev's own pages: the about and press pages on rev.com mention no funding. The only figures found are aggregator profiles that disagree (totals from about $4.9 million to $63 million, and a 2013 Series A of $4.5 million from a listing), so none can be recorded from an official source.

Not keptTactiq

Official pages (tactiq.io homepage and pricing page, checked 2026-10) give plan prices in EUR, AI credit limits and language counts, but no funding round or acquisition amount; the $10M Series A reported by an investor profile and a data aggregator is not on any Tactiq page, and the company's about page returns 404.
