Bose, Hive Among First With Extensions for Agora Real-Time Platform

Bose and Hive are inaugural partners of Agora’s Extensions Marketplace announced this week at the company’s virtual RTE2021 conference. Agora’s platform helps companies embed real-time video and audio features in apps and services. Bose’s PinPoint noise filter reduces unwanted background noise in a conference call, online game or chat app and can be used with any headphones, it said. Hive’s extension offers native integration with its visual content moderation application programming interface, which is able to detect in real time offensive content such as hate symbols, nudity and violence. Other extensions announced this week offer facial animation, voice-changing software, facial recognition, voice effects and conversation intelligence, Agora said.
