Sanas

We founded Sanas in 2020 to build a real-time speech understanding platform.

Our Speech AI Platform includes accent translation, noise cancellation, and a mobile app for language translation that supports over 25 languages. Our core products use real-time speech-to-speech AI to adjust accents, remove background noise, and translate languages while keeping unique voices and emotions intact.

We serve enterprises and contact centers, helping them boost productivity, improve customer satisfaction (CSAT) and average handling time (AHT), and increase employee satisfaction (with a 97% adoption rate). Our goal is to reduce stress and improve communication confidence by minimizing miscommunication. We empower contact center agents by improving call quality and handling. We also help enterprises break down communication barriers, which makes them more efficient and creates new talent sourcing opportunities.

We secured seed funding in 2021, a $32 million Series A round in 2022 led by Insight Partners (with Google and Assurant Ventures participating), and a $65 million Series B funding in 2025. In 2024, we received a patent for our real-time accent conversion AI technology in the USA and India. Over 30,000 contact center agents currently use the latest version of our technology. Our customers include Trajector, Wyndham, Alorica, TP, Transcom, and Concentrix.

Our mission is to build a more understanding world. We founded Sanas to reduce accent-based discrimination.

We operate under three core values:

• Customer Obsessed: We exist to solve real-world problems for our customers. We prioritize customer success, listen intently, act swiftly, and strive to exceed expectations to build trust.
• Innovate or Die: We challenge the status quo, push boundaries, and relentlessly pursue better solutions through groundbreaking technology and operational excellence. This means bold thinking and execution.
• Extreme Accountability: Our team members take full ownership of their work, results, and impact. We hold ourselves and each other to high standards.

We also uphold the principle of preserving cultural identities, believing everyone has the right to retain their unique accent. Our technology allows users to speak naturally and adjust speech for clarity only when needed.

We are building a global team of scientists, engineers, marketers, and change-makers. Our company size ranges from 51 to 200 employees. Our headquarters are in Palo Alto, USA; Manila, Philippines; and Bengaluru, India. We also have a global presence in Canada, Mexico, Singapore, Germany, UK, Poland, Guatemala, Netherlands, Colombia, India, and the Philippines.

Our work culture focuses on building and delivering the world’s first real-time speech AI platform, while also exploring the potential of an increasingly sonic future. We emphasize solving real-world problems for our customers, fostering innovation, and promoting extreme accountability among our team members.

We offer our employees a benefits package that includes medical insurance, with full coverage for medical, dental, vision, and life. We have a leave policy that supports work-life balance. We also have an employee referral program that offers bonuses for team members who refer candidates, and we provide fitness reimbursement to promote wellness among our staff.
