SoundHound's Houndify Voice Platform Adds 22 Languages

SoundHound expanded its Houndify Voice AI platform to 22 languages as part of a road map to add more than 100, blogged the company Wednesday. Houndify's Speech-to-Meaning and Deep Meaning Understanding technologies, plus advances in automatic speech recognition and natural language understanding, allow the platform to track speech in real time -- “understanding the meaning even before the user has finished speaking,” said the company. Available languages include English, Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Indian-accented English, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
