SINGAPORE — January 12, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Sound Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SOGP) issued a letter to shareholders from its Founder and CEO, Mr. Marco Lai, celebrating the sixth anniversary of its public listing and highlighting the company’s commitment to AI-powered audio innovation.
Lai emphasized Sound Group’s evolution from an audio content community to a real-time voice interaction platform and its current focus on voice applications in the AI era. He noted that the company’s central question has always been how voice can better connect people to each other and the world.
Sound Group has been integrating technology and voice since its early stages, including intelligent content recommendation, personalized audio content distribution, and sustained investment in automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech (TTS), and real-time voice interaction.
The company believes that the deep integration of voice and AI is its strategic choice and what drives its next phase of growth. Sound Group’s revenue increased by 47% year-over-year in the first half of 2025, and the company returned to a profitable trajectory.
In October 2025, Sound Group announced its renewed mission and vision: to be the world’s leading AI-powered audio company, helping people connect better and live happier. This evolution represents a crystallization of the company’s purpose in the age of AI.
Sound Group aims to continue enhancing its technological capabilities, particularly by exploring new possibilities in voice AI applications. In early January, the company officially launched the SoundSphereAI platform, showcasing its core technological achievements in voice AI. The platform integrates speech recognition, speech synthesis, and AI voice-changing modules.
The company has also redesigned the Sound Group official website to more clearly present its business structure, technology system, and milestones. Sound Group will remain focused on realizing the power of voice and deepening AI capabilities to apply them in tangible, high-frequency, and scalable usage scenarios.
The company believes that sustainable growth comes from a virtuous cycle of technology, product, and data. Guided by this growth flywheel, Sound Group will continue its global expansion with a long-term mindset.
Sound Group Inc. is a global, AI-powered audio company on a mission to help people connect better and live happier. Leveraging its voice AI technologies and deep expertise in audio interaction, Sound Group is building a diverse ecosystem of intelligent audio products that cater to a global user base.
