Katy Wigdahl

Katy Wigdahl is CEO of Speechmatics, a speech recognition company selling transcription APIs for global, real-world audio. She leads a Cambridge-rooted firm that competes on language coverage and robustness rather than consumer voice demos.

Leading a speech infrastructure company

Speechmatics markets autonomous speech recognition for enterprises that need transcripts across accents, languages, and noisy environments. Wigdahl's company bio and headshot sit on the corporate leadership pages beside founder Tony Robinson's technical story.

Product focus under her tenure

Public product work emphasizes streaming and batch APIs, on-prem options, and accuracy claims for challenging audio. That buyer set overlaps contact centers, media, and compliance teams that already appear in AIR speech reviews.

On speech as a measured utility

Her public comments treat speech recognition as infrastructure buyers meter - accuracy, language support, deployment options - rather than a viral consumer feature. That CEO framing fits AIR's voice API category beside Deepgram and AssemblyAI.
