“We've always been focused on providing a voice AI platform that allows our partners to speak the languages of their users,” says Majid Emami, Co-founder & VP Engineering, SoundHound Inc. “This announcement reinforces the growth of our language library, ready for any company looking for speech recognition with global reach.”
According to SoundHound, Houndify's accuracy and speed in voice recognition is the result of a combination of its breakthrough Speech-to-Meaning and Deep Meaning Understanding technologies. Advancements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) enable the Houndify Voice AI platform to track speech in real-time — understanding the meaning even before the user has finished speaking and delivering the smartest voice experience possible.
“We’re committed to our efforts in language expansion, including key ASR features such as long-form transcription and customized vocabularies,” notes Keyvan Mohajer, Co-founder and CEO, SoundHound. “Our ASR adds tremendous value and leveraging our breakthrough NLU provides endless possibilities.”
Global companies seeking to create omnichannel voice experiences can now access the majority of the languages their customers speak, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, Indian-accented English, German, Dutch, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, and more.
