Cynthia is revolutionizing the inefficient audiobook production method with AI technology based on large language models (LLM). CEO Oh said, "Traditional audiobook production was inefficient," adding, "Cynthia reduced the production time from 4 weeks to 30 minutes through AI automation, and cut costs to 1/50."

He explained that the AI specialized for audiobooks does not just convert text to speech (TTS) but reads books naturally by breathing, adjusting intonation, and expressing emotions.

CEO Oh stated, "Cynthia offers 19 languages," and added, "Participating in book fairs is effective for promoting Cynthia in various countries, so we will focus our resources here." To this end, they also operate country managers composed of market experts.

CEO Oh emphasized, "Cynthia will transform the publishing industry, which is slow to adopt new technologies, with AI technology."
