Sanas' technology is designed to revolutionize communication by giving multilingual speakers a choice when it comes to how they communicate. It's a step towards empowering individuals, advancing equality, and deepening empathy.
We are committed to protecting the diverse voice identities of the world and their cultures.
Our mission is to make lives better by expanding the horizons of what is possible with your voice.
A friend and fellow Stanford engineering student, we started Sanas for him.
During school, he was forced to take a leave of absence and return home to Nicaragua. He started looking for jobs with high English proficiency. But, as he hadn't matriculated yet, he only had his high school diploma. With those credentials, the highest paying job he could find was in a call center.
Working there he was faced with daily bias associated with his accent. He was verbally abused and discriminated against over the phone. And found himself underperforming at a job for which he was vastly overqualified. Unsurprisingly, he decided to leave the job after a few months.
Knowing he wasn't alone, we started Sanas to ensure people around the world could take back the power of their own voice.

We understand the positive and profound impact a technology like Sanas can have.
We also understand that, like any tool or technology, there is the potential for misuse. That is why our team has drafted a detailed code of ethics to ensure that our decisions and technology lead to better lives and more empowered individuals. Everyday, we are guided by these three principles.
