Helios' second product unlocks the power of voice for more than just quantitative investors.

Schenectady, United States - July 20, 2021 /PressCable/ —

The possibilities for systematic, fundamental, and corporate vectors are unparalleled upon unlocking the truest metric of human nature: the voice. This is what Helios Life Enterprises has and is continuing to achieve with its second product, Mercury.

In 2019, Helios launched Comprehend, a tonal API that allows quantitative hedge firms to extract meaningful data that, in turn, improves their capabilities in trading. Truly the first of its own kind, Comprehend uses cutting-edge voice-processing and AI technology that has given investors the power to better understand what an executive is saying beyond what they are actually saying.

With Mercury, however, Helios has taken it one step further. “When we launched Comprehend for hedge funds in 2019, we knew this was just the tip of the iceberg. With Mercury, now available, our data science and audio engineering team have unlocked massive potential for any financial platform that operates on audio. We’re seeing enormous possibilities when tonal analysis becomes incorporated into these models for quantitative, discretionary, corporate, and beyond,” says Helios’ Chief Scientific Officer and the vision behind Mercury, Dr. Gerwin Schalk.

According to Dr. Shalk, over 40% of true communication is missed if one only bases their decisions on what is being said without paying attention to how the executive is saying it. He also notes that “2021 will be the watershed moment for voice in the financial world. We’re in the era of deception.” The slightest dissonance in voice can give one a better idea of what the executive is actually thinking, and if they truly believe what they are saying about the future of the firm.

Through Mercury, everyone can unlock the hidden power of the human voice, be it hedge fund firms, day traders, or even voice assistants. This new product allows customers to send in any type of corporate audio and receive unique tonal sentiment that can help them unlock the human voice at scale—all within just a few hours. Based on neuroscience, neurolinguistics, and unique machine learning technology, Helios has taken audio analysis on a whole new level with their second offering.

It is a given fact that earnings conference calls are a huge determinant for the dynamics in the market, and each one holds critical information that can predict where the market is headed. With Mercury as a new dimension in voice tone analysis, any kind of investor, company, or professional can extract a more human-readable sentiment score for higher-level alpha generation, financial analysis, business prediction, and so much more.
