Telly and Sensory Redefine Voice Technology for TVs at CES

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Telly, the smartest TV ever built and offered at the revolutionary price of free, has partnered with Sensory, the global leader in on-device speech recognition, to unveil a transformative approach to voice technology. The companies debuted this innovation last week during CES 2025. This collaboration sets a new benchmark for privacy, speed, and user convenience, further repositioning the TV as the central smart device in the home.

“Telly’s use of Sensory’s embedded speech-to-text technology represents a leap forward for voice-enabled televisions,” said Sascha Prueter, Telly’s Chief Product Officer. “By leveraging the immense computing power of our TVs, we’re delivering a smarter, more secure, and more private experience for consumers on the smartest TV ever built.”

Privacy-First: Speech-to-Text Processed Locally on the TV

Telly’s partnership with Sensory delivers speech-to-text technology that allows users to speak naturally to their TV without the need for memorizing scripts or specific vocabularies. With Telly’s advanced computing power, hundreds of the most-used voice commands are processed natively, on the device, eliminating the need for cloud-based data sharing. This ensures greater consumer privacy and delivers lightning-fast responses free from latency issues.

“The smartest TV ever deserves the smartest approach to privacy,” said Prueter. “With Telly’s use of Sensory’s on-device voice technology, we are able to bring extremely fast, low-latency voice commands to the living room.”

Far-Field and Remote Control: Flexible Interaction

Telly redefines TV interaction by offering both hands-free far-field voice control and button-activated remote options. This dual-mode capability allows users to choose the interaction style that best suits their needs. Whether controlling the TV, managing home functions, or accessing thousands of on-device commands, Telly’s far-field assistant delivers unparalleled flexibility.

“Sensory’s expertise in local voice technology, combined with Telly’s dual-screen innovation, pushes the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Todd Mozer, President & CEO of Sensory. “Together, we’re setting a new standard for secure, responsive, and intuitive voice interactions.”
