About Sensory

Sensory, Inc. is a profitable, venture-backed, privately held software company focused on improving the user experience through embedded machine learning technologies such as voice, vision, and natural language processing.

Sensory was founded in 1994 and pioneered neural network approaches for embedded speech recognition in consumer electronics. Sensory’s technology codebase is well-engineered and highly efficient from close to one thousand people-years of code development.

Sensory’s technologies have shipped in over 2 billion products from hundreds of leading consumer electronics manufacturers including ATT, Hasbro, Huawei, Google, JVC, Kenwood, LG, Mattel, Motorola, Plantronics, Samsung, Sony, SEGA, Uniden, and V-Tech. Sensory has over 35 issued patents covering speech recognition in consumer electronics, biometric authentication, sensor/speech combinations, wake up word technology, speech recognition on DSP’s, client/cloud use of speech technologies and more.

Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree™ Voice Control technology has revolutionized the speech technology industry by removing the need to hit buttons to activate speech recognition. This technology is getting rave editorial and customer reviews for enabling a safer and more convenient user experience with an extremely noise-robust and accurate solution that responds quickly and at ultra-low power consumption.

Variations include fixed phrase triggers and command sets, user-defined triggers, predefined fixed phrase voice passwords, user-defined passwords, and small vocabulary speech recognition command sets. TrulyHandsfree runs on more platforms including DSPs, microcontrollers, sensor hubs, smart mics, and operating systems than any other speech recognition company in the world. Almost as many platforms as all other speech companies combined!! TrulyHandsfree is perfect for low power embedded applications for wake up word, wearables, and Bluetooth™ devices.

Sensory’s TrulyNatural™ technology is a state-of-the-art deep neural net speech engine implementing a custom embedded architecture allowing developers to incorporate scalable sizes and capabilities ranging from small footprint small vocabulary engines to large vocabulary continuous speech recognition systems. TrulyNatural is perfect for automotive, IoT, mobile, and other home electronic applications requiring a more natural language and flexible voice input than traditional grammar-based approaches.

TrulySecure™ combines Sensory’s award-winning speaker verification with face authentication to enable a fast, convenient and accurate approach to biometric authentication. Sensory’s Applock in the GooglePlay store is the highest rated biometric application, has had over 100,000 downloads and produces several terabytes of real-world usable data every month. TrulySecure is now used by some of the biggest banks and largest mobile providers in the world.

Sensory is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, and has offices in Portland, OR, Boulder, CO, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong.
