API – Houndify
Houndify is an audio and language API that could be implemented to provide voice-enabled intelligence and audio identification to make products and services more interactive and personally responsive to customers. Through Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU), the API allows users to add an AI experience that continuously learns and collects data that can be customized. It follows a speech-to-meaning system with deep meaning understanding to allow a natural voice service so that users can find the results they want on any connected software or platform. Houndify has private beta features by request that include iris recognition, emotion detection, and face recognition. Users of these features don’t necessarily know how this information is being collected and what the data is used for.
Uses of the API include being featured in voice control in automobiles, audio and music recognition for users to identify sounds and songs to discover, location based services to make results relevant to users, and wide multilingual capabilities that bring together more diversity and accessibility.
