Capabilities

## What Koe does

### Director-grade emotional modulation

Direct nuances in tone: breath control, hesitation, whispers, intense delivery, irony, and pitch contour through natural language instructions.

### Cross-lingual voice cloning

Preserves vocal identity, formant fingerprint and emotional timbre across languages and regional dialects.

### Viseme-synchronized dubbing

Phoneme timing alignment matched to video mouth shapes and facial cadence for localization.

### Actor likeness rights

Every synthesized voice carries an imperceptible cryptographic watermark, and its provenance is logged.
