Kardome and SoundHound Partner on in-Car Voice with Multi-Zone Conversational AI

Kardome, the provider of Spatial Hearing Voice AI, has partnered with SoundHound AI, a voice AI provider, to bring multi-zone conversational artificial intelligence to in-car voice interfaces.

The collaboration provides a voice interaction for the driver and every passenger in the car, even in the noisiest cabins. By integrating Kardome's Spatial Hearing AI with SoundHound's Chat AI Automotive conversational AI technology, this solution hears like a human and responds like one. It recognizes who is speaking, filters out distractions, and delivers real-time responses, whether it's the driver or someone in the third row.

Kardome's technology employs advanced algorithms to analyze the acoustic environment within the vehicle, pinpointing the location of each speaker. Creating distinct 'audio zones' isolates individual voices and filters out background noise.

This precise spatial awareness enables SoundHound Chat AI Automotive to receive a clear, focused audio stream, allowing it to understand the specific intent behind each command, regardless of its origin within the cabin. SoundHound's natural language processing interprets these isolated commands, delivering contextually relevant responses .

Together, these technologies create a multi-seat voice interface. Kardome's plug-and-play solution, combined with SoundHound's software SDKs and APIs, streamlines development timelines.
