Audio streaming platform expanding podcasts and audiobooks across markets, including AI voice translation.
Spotify, founded in Stockholm in 2006, is the world's largest audio streaming service, operating in more than 180 markets. Beyond music it has invested in podcasts and audiobooks, and in 2023 piloted AI voice translation that renders podcasts in other languages in the host's own voice. As spoken-word content grows, Spotify is a bellwether for audio localization, AI dubbing and transcription demand.
