AudioTelligence Secures $8.5 Million to Advance Speech Clarity Technology
AudioTelligence, a company focused on improving speech clarity in noisy environments, has raised $8.5 million in Series A funding
The round was led by Octopus Ventures, with participation from existing investors
The company's technology uses 'blind audio signal separation' to isolate and enhance desired sounds, improving the accuracy of voice recognition systems
The funding will be used for product development, partnerships, and expanding the team.
ProblemTechnology
"Voice command systems work reasonably well when the audio scene is quiet, but performance deteriorates rapidly once you have multiple people talking or when there’s background music."
Solution
"AudioTelligence’s technology acts like autofocus for sound, using data-driven ‘blind audio signal separation’ to focus on the source of interest, allowing it to be separated from interfering noises. This enables microphones to focus on what users are saying, improving the audio quality for listeners, regardless of background noise."
