Our mission is to enable everyone to showcase vocal talent. Driven by this, we have transformed the audio industry to create Lizhi, a mobile app for everyone to create, store, share, discover and enjoy audio, and interact through it.
Human voice is powerful. It reveals our feelings and thoughts, creates understanding and empathy, and fills us with joy and inspirations. It establishes companionship and brings us together in a way like no other medium.
Over 100 years ago, radio was invented to connect the world through human voices. Its massive reach, seamless transmission, and ubiquitous presence have changed and enriched everyone’s life. Fifteen years ago, the rapid development of internet gave rise to podcasts, attracting a younger audience and nurturing audio hosts of the future.
Now, with the rise of mobile technology, we saw an opportunity to transform audio creation and sharing to elevate the roles of voices in people’s lives. That’s why we built Lizhi six years ago—to revamp traditional radio and podcasts to create a bigger and more accessible stage for everyone to create, store, share, discover and enjoy audio, and interact through it.
AI technology has been transforming the way we create and share audio content. Human voice is unique in expressing one’s mood and feelings, as the pitches and tones associated with different moods are often subconscious and difficult to forge. AI technology can help us discern one’s voices to understand their feelings and behaviors and further elevate the role of voices in people’s lives. We will also endeavor to integrate social responsibilities into our product offerings, through finding people the voices they like, relieving their stress, providing companionship, and bringing them happiness.
What we do today is just the beginning. We envision a global audio community—a place where everyone can become a host, record their lives, share stories, and empathize and connect with each other, through voices and across cultures.
