Kardome Wins 2024 Award for Pioneering In-Vehicle Spatial Hearing

We proudly announce that Kardome has been named a 2024 Speech Industry Award winner, an honor recognizing our advanced voice AI technology work. This  award underscores Kardome’s commitment to transforming how users interact with machines, making human-machine communication more intuitive and seamless.

Kardome’s Spatial Hearing technology is reshaping voice-user interfaces, particularly in the automotive industry with our Kardome Mobility software. This innovative voice AI technology enables devices to accurately analyze the 3D acoustical scene and isolate and identify speech in noisy environments, even in challenging settings like cars. It can detect multiple people talking precisely, making voice interactions smoother and more natural. Kardome designs solutions to make human-machine voice interactions feel effortless, whether driving, at work, or at home.

Redefining the Future of Voice Tech

The Speech Industry Award is a significant milestone for Kardome, but it’s just one step in our broader mission to redefine how we interact with voice-enabled devices. Our Spatial Hearing technology goes beyond improving voice recognition—it makes communication with machines more like human conversation. By accurately detecting the voice of the intended speaker, even in environments with multiple speakers and background noise, Kardome is pushing the boundaries of what voice technology can achieve.

Kardome Mobility is already making waves in the automotive sector by improving the driving experience. Tier 1 manufacturers and OEMs have vetted our solution, making their in-car voice interactions more efficient and user-friendly. Vehicles equipped with Kardome’s technology can accurately understand voice commands from up to six people over three seat rows only using a single microphone array in the overhead compartment. This ability saves on manufacturing and material costs. Kardome Mobility provides a more natural and accurate in-car voice experience by isolating the desired speaker and filtering out unwanted sound.

As we continue to enhance voice interaction capabilities, our innovative MyWord technology further complements this vision. Kardome's MyWord is a voice personalization technology that lets end users create custom voice commands for various devices and applications. This technology enhances user experience by enabling intuitive, personalized device interactions and improving accessibility. For manufacturers, MyWord offers vital benefits such as enhancing customer satisfaction with flexible, tailored user experiences that differentiate products and cost savings on AI training, making it ideal for automotive and consumer electronics.

What this Award Means for Kardome

Winning the 2024 Speech Industry Award highlights our hard work and innovation at Kardome. It's just the beginning as we aim to lead in evolving voice technology. This recognition emphasizes the industry’s demand for natural, seamless voice interactions. We are dedicated to making voice interfaces as intuitive as speaking with another person, enhancing everyday life across automotive and consumer electronics.

“Kardome’s mission has always been to make voice technology as seamless and natural as possible,” said Dani Cherkassky, CEO of Kardome. “Winning the 2024 Speech Industry Award reflects the incredible strides our team has made in delivering on that mission. Our Spatial Hearing software transforms how we interact with devices and shapes the future of human-machine communication across industries, from automotive to smart homes.”

Big News on the Horizon

While we celebrate this award, we’re also preparing to share some exciting news next week that will further cement Kardome’s position as a leader in the voice technology space. This upcoming announcement will mark another significant step in our mission to revolutionize voice interactions and redefine the future of human-machine communication. Stay tuned!

Looking Ahead: Greater Innovations to Come

We also look ahead to the future as we celebrate this exciting win. Our team is already working hard on the next wave of innovations to enhance voice interactions in the automotive industry and beyond. 

Kardome envisions a future where AI assistants are integrated into wearables, like earbuds and AR glasses, and used in various environments, from business meetings to everyday tasks. These AI assistants will anticipate our needs, offer suggestions, automate tasks, and personalize our experience. To do all that, the assistant should be situationally aware and understand the acoustic and, ideally, visual scene. Kardome’s groundbreaking Spatial Hearing technology enables this "situational awareness," revolutionizing how people interact with technology across various experiences. It redefines the future paradigm of human interaction with technology, creating a natural and harmonious connection between people and their devices.

Whether improving in-car voice recognition, creating more personalized voice experiences, or extending our technology to new markets, Kardome is committed to driving the future of voice technology forward. Stay tuned for more exciting news as we transform voice tech and human-machine interaction.
