AudioTelligence, the company dedicated to making speech clear and intelligible in a noisy world, has announced that it has raised a further $8.5 million (\u00a36.5 million) in Series A funding.<\/p>\n
The round was led by Octopus Ventures, with participation from existing investors Cambridge Innovation Capital, Cambridge Enterprise, and CEDAR Audio.<\/p>\n
While the adoption of voice-activated technologies in \u2018smart\u2019 homes and workplaces is on the rise, the accuracy of modern speech recognition systems remains severely limited\u00a0in noisy environments.<\/p>\n
To tackle this problem, AudioTelligence\u2019s technology acts like autofocus for sound, using data-driven \u2018blind audio signal separation\u2019 to focus on the source of interest, allowing it to be separated from interfering noises. This\u00a0enables microphones to focus on what users are saying, improving the audio quality for listeners, regardless of background noise.<\/p>\n
Valuable applications for AudioTelligence\u2019s technology include voice assistants operating in noisy environments, smart speakers, smart TVs and set-top boxes where broadcast sound interferes with command recognition, and two-way telephony in noisy places.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0$8.5 million\u00a0investment will support AudioTelligence\u2019s ambitious plans to disrupt the\u00a0$10 billion voice market\u00a0by fuelling further breakthroughs, supporting new partnerships with technology providers, and tripling employee headcount over the next three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
