Sensory一直被认为是事实上的定制唤醒词(custom branded wake words)领域的全球领导厂商。Sensory于今年初也正式推出了其在线生成离线语音模型的门户 VoiceHub - voicehub.sensory.com,帮助开发者快速生成和开发支持品牌定制唤醒词的设备。
伴随着品牌定制唤醒词需求的增长,对于诸如Alexa, Bixby, Google, Cortana, Siri等通用语音助理优化后唤醒词的需求,也在强劲增长。在美国市场之外的市场,Sensory也支持如Tencent, Baidu, Naver, Rakuten等通用语音助理唤醒词。
Sensory推出的Hey Siri语音模型面对全球不同地区和不同语言,推出特别优化的定制的语音模型,如北美,欧洲和亚洲。
"Every conversation with a virtual assistant, starts with a wake word, so accurate wake word performance across the world is mandatory for a positive user experience," said Todd Mozer, Sensory CEO. "Sensory's TrulyHandsfree wake word engine has shipped in billions of products, including mobile phones, smart speakers, wearables, smart appliances, and automobiles. All of that real-world experience provides a competitive advantage for Sensory models. Our wake words provide unparalleled accuracy with the acoustic challenges of background noise, accented speech, and far-field conditions."
Sensory为开发者带来开发语音助理产品的终极灵活性,一整套包括优化后的流行唤醒词模型,支持多达几十种语言或方言(dialects),可使用VoiceHub自有定义和创建品牌定制唤醒词。
同时作为Amazon 语音互操作倡议(Voice Interoperability Initiative)的成员公司,Sensory支持为用户带来自有使用多种语音助理服务的权利。正如Jeff Bezos所说 - 同步多唤醒词(multiple simultaneous wake words)为消费者提供最优选择。
