Read more →About the Newsroom
The FCT Technologies Newsroom is where FCT publishes its own shipped work: announcements about the software the company builds, and guides that walk you through a single decision. It launched on July 24, 2026, alongside a rebuild of this site.
Announcements document real changes to FCT's own products and infrastructure: on-device voice cloning in Transcription Studio, an MCP client built the day after that standard's 28 July 2026 revision, and the rebuild of this site. Guides cover one decision you are actually facing: choosing a first AI automation, or putting GEO and SEO work in the right order.
Every article carries a dated byline and Article and FAQPage structured data. Drafts come from real shipped work. Nothing publishes here to fill a slot.
