Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

VocaliD is a legitimate, high-utility speech technology company founded in 2014 and acquired by Veritone in 2022. It pioneered personalized synthetic voices for the speech-impaired (e.g., The Human Voicebank). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the high intrinsic value and verified exit of the technology, significantly penalized by the unprofessional submission and lack of provided evidence.
