How many individual emotions can the human voice express?

The emotion scientists Alan Cowen and Dacher Keltner discovered that the human voice can convey 24 emotions without words. Today, the list of emotions conveyed by the voice continues to grow, and the scientists at Hume AI have built an algorithm to classify them. Hume’s algorithm is what powers this experience. These are the emotions that it can detect.
