MacPaw Announces Strategic Partnership with Respeecher To Integrate Voice Capabilities into AI Assistant

Combining MacPaw and Respeecher's respective AI expertise and technologies, this collaboration exemplifies a new level of human-computer interaction

KYIV, Ukraine, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MacPaw, a leading macOS and iOS software developer, today announced a strategic partnership with Respeecher, the Ukrainian AI-driven voice synthesis company whose innovative technology has been included in dozens of Hollywood titles. The partnership, unveiled at CES 2026, provides early-stage prototype voice capabilities to Eney – MacPaw's first-of-its-kind AI-powered 'Computerbeing' for macOS.

The partnership will integrate Respeecher's cutting-edge text-to-speech technology into Eney's interface, enabling Eney to respond to spoken queries with natural, human-like speech. Designed to capture and recreate a real voice actor's style, cadence, and delivery, Respeecher's voice technology delivers emotional depth, precise rhythm, and intonation patterns. As a result, Eney will be able to respond appropriately to various situations, including answering both shorter prompts and giving longer explanations, helping conversations feel more natural.

"When we started developing Eney, we aimed to create a true digital companion, or 'Computerbeing,' that not only helps users, but connects with them too," said Sergii Kryvoblotskyi, Director of Technological Research & Development at MacPaw. "Integrating voice capabilities into Eney was the next step in this journey, but high-quality speech technology that replicates human speech naturally is challenging to develop. By partnering with Respeecher, a renowned pioneer in this industry, we're excited to unveil this next evolution of Eney."

"We are honored to work with MacPaw since we both share the same values of perfectionism, ethics, and human-centered technology," said Dmytro Bielievtsov, Co-Founder and CTO at Respeecher. "From the very beginning, our goal was to give Eney a voice that feels human and natural, yet make zero compromises on privacy. We truly hope users enjoy using Eney and that it becomes a reliable helper with their everyday tasks."

Expanding Collaboration Between Technology and Users

As a part of MacPaw's vision for Software 3.0, Eney's newly added voice capabilities will create a more engaging user experience while maintaining its unique task completion capabilities. Attendees onsite at CES 2026 will have exclusive access to the demo version and be able to choose from several sample prompts to interact with Eney, including asking Eney to translate phrases in real time, creating a calendar event, setting reminders, switching on a VPN, and hearing about MacPaw and Respeecher's collaboration.

MacPaw will continue to work with Respeecher and other industry partners to expand Eney's capabilities, with the official product launch planned for later this year. To learn more and try out Eney in beta, available exclusively on Setapp, visit: eney.ai
