About the company

Speech Graphics is the leading audio-driven facial animation provider in the video-game industry. Unlike other technologies, Speech Graphics employs detailed muscle maps for extremely accurate real-time lip-sync.

With a culture that thrives on collaboration, creativity and pushing technological boundaries, we are committed to providing a workplace where people can grow, innovate and make an impact. Our teams are diverse, passionate, and driven by a shared goal of building groundbreaking products that shape the future of digital animation.
