Audio Analytic continues to lead the world in Sound Recognition for the Smart Home, with its latest new product release. Using their intelligent, embeddable software, Audio Analytic provides the missing link in smart home products by enabling them to recognise and act upon sounds. Indeed, interest in Sound Recognition as a new smart home product category is steadily increasing. The company’s CEO, Chris Mitchell, was recently interviewed on market analyst Michael Wolf’s “Smart Home Show”, and a number of substantial contracts with major consumer and technology brands are in the pipeline.

Using a simple microphone, and their very clever artificial intelligence software, Audio Analytic identifies noises precisely and tells the smart home what they are, so that pre-set scenes can be enacted and appropriate actions taken. Moreover, the Sound Recognition software works on virtually all operating systems and smart home hardware platforms.

In release 3.2, Audio Analytic’s ai3 Sound Recognition software will deliver even greater accuracy, responsiveness and integration capabilities. The technology is built on their extensive intellectual property, underpinned by a family of patents, using a highly specialised machine learning engine developed and maintained by Audio Analytic (AA) Labs, their world-class Sound Recognition research team. AA Labs continually pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in acoustic intelligence.  The company’s research, development, testing and certification activities are powered by AA Labs’ Audio Archive™, what they claim is the largest primary sourced sound database in the industry.

Audio Analytic’s engineers go to enormous lengths to gather and capture hundreds of thousands of hours of audio recordings. This data is harvested in different environments - domestic, professional and industrial – using a wide range of equipment, from NetCams and Home Hubs, to Security Cameras, using internal and external microphones. The data is then stored, indexed and analysed, and finally run through their unique machine learning engine.    

Importantly, this data collection, categorisation and analysis process never stops: it is a core part of their ongoing R&D activities. The company constantly refines and improves it algorithms every day as a normal part of business. And that’s what enables Audio Analytic’s software to identify sounds to such a high level of precision.

The people at Audio Analytic are clearly very passionate about what they do.  They are committed to making Sound Recognition an integral part of each and every smart home device, by working with their customers to create great sound-aware products. Whether it’s an existing product in the market, or the next world-beating smart home device, Audio Analytic can make all of them sound-enabled.  

With so much untapped potential in the Sound Recognition market, it sounds like Audio Analytic is a company worth listening to.
