事件经过
自2019年在首个市场韩国推出以来，Speak已拥有超过1000万用户，首席执行官兼联合创始人Connor Zwick表示。过去五年，其用户基数每年翻一番，Speak现在在40多个国家拥有客户。
本周，该公司完成了由Buckley Ventures领投的2000万美元B轮扩展融资，OpenAI创业基金、Khosla Ventures、Y Combinator联合创始人Paul Graham和LinkedIn执行主席Jeff Weiner参投。这笔资金使Speak的融资总额达到8400万美元，并将这家初创公司的估值翻倍至5亿美元。
Speak由Zwick和Andrew Hsu于2014年创立，两人在Thiel Fellowship期间相识。该应用的设计理念是通过让用户学习口语模式并在精心设计的课程中反复练习来教授语言，而非死记硬背词汇和语法。在这方面，它与Duolingo类似，特别是Duolingo较新的生成式AI功能。但正如其名，Speak最注重的是口语表达。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.

为何重要
Speak最初从英语开始，随后推出了西班牙语课程，由基于内部数据训练的语音识别模型提供支持。接下来是法语，但Zwick并未透露具体何时推出这些课程。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.
“我们的核心理念是让用户尽可能多地开口说话，”Zwick说。“达到流利程度有助于人们建立联系、连接文化和创造经济机会。这对人们来说仍然是语言学习中最重要的部分，但历史上却是技术支撑最薄弱的环节。” 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.
