Audio Analytic is a British company headquartered in Cambridge, England that has developed a patented sound recognition software framework called ai3 which provides technology with the ability to understand context through sound. This framework includes an embeddable software platform that can react to a range of sounds such as smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms, window breakage, infant crying and dogs barking.
History
The company was based on founder Christopher Mitchell's doctoral research from Anglia Ruskin University, with seed investment from EEDA (East of England Development Agency) and local Cambridge Angels investors.[citation needed]
The company's investors include Cambridge Angels, Rockspring, Martlets, Cambridge Investment Capital and IQ Capital Partners. [citation needed][1]
Development milestones
- 2011 Audio Analytic announced the version one release of its professional security products Glass Break, Aggression, Car Alarm and Gunshot.
- 2017 Audio Analytic announced a commercial partnership with hearables company Bragi to embed sound recognition in earphones.
- 2018 Audio Analytic announced a partnership with Hive (part of Centrica plc) to embed sound recognition technology into multiple products.[citation needed]
- 2018 Audio Analytic announced that their sound recognition software has been launched alongside Alexa[disambiguation needed] and Netflix on the Freebox Delta from European telecoms company Iliad.
Products
Audio Analytic sells ai3, a software package that is embedded on a device, along with an assortment of sound profiles that the software can recognise, including warning alarms, window breakage, an infant crying, and voice activity. ai3 is hardware-agnostic and can run on a variety of devices, such as smart speakers and smartphones. It is designed to run on-device and not in the cloud.[citation needed]
Audio Analytic developed the Polyphonic Sound Detection Score (PSDS), a metric for evaluating the performance of sound recognition algorithms when applied to polyphonic sound recordings.[2][3][4] They also released an accompanying software framework that implements the PSDS.[5]
