Helios to Leverage Deepgram for Global Equity Expansion

NEW YORK, October 21, 2022 - Helios Life Enterprises, today announced they will leverage Deepgram’s automated speech recognition (ASR) platform for non-English speaking global equities. The Helios team has been asked for years about global equities and is excited to bring these brand new capabilities to clients with the help of Deepgram. This new integration will give Helios users wider coverage for every hour of audio - related to equities - in existence.

"Helios has been on a mission since Day 1 to harness the power of voice across all corporate communication. We started with a humble set, The Russell 1000, but have always had the ambition to go global,” said Helios CEO and Co-Founder, Sean Austin. “For 2022, our research and development team has been rigorously testing and evaluating the best-in-class for ASR platforms. We couldn't be more impressed with what Deepgram offers as a platform that compliments ours so well. Tone of Voice (ToV) is just starting to get legs across the US sphere and will soon be utilized for every global equity. This represents the next chapter in our journey."

Helios is the market leader in voice-based tonal analysis with several products that provide tonal intelligence to investors. Helios products are the world’s first offerings that provide voice tone data and analytics to the financial industry. Tone of voice accounts for 40% of human communication, while word choice is only 7%. The majority of today’s earnings intelligence does not account for this crucial piece of the mosaic.

The addition of Deepgram’s advanced ASR platform to the Helios universe will give investors headlights into every global equity they cover, adding greater detail to the macro tapestry that is voice tone. Markets are more volatile than they have ever been. With Helios' proprietary voice platform and the global coverage that is coming, the insights that can be derived around volatility forecasts will open up a brand new domain of buy side risk-on portfolio products.

What Makes Tonal Analysis So Important?

Words make up just 7% of human communication, while tone of voice is the number one passive indicator of what someone is thinking and accounts for nearly 40% of human communication. Tonal analysis can be layered with textual analysis, NLP and sentiment analysis, to intelligently connect more facets of complex and unstructured data. The result: a sharper understanding of conversational intelligence. In prior use cases, our tonal analytics and data helped:

• Forecast implied volatility
• Predict several equity variables and performance parameters of the following quarter
• Showcase long/short, long-only and other back tests that provide stable yield
• Showcase price-action predictions that outperforms a media sentiment provider and benchmark
• And many more…To learn more our products, sign up for demonstrations at Helios Life Enterprises.
