Into empty space?

"allows users to identify music by humming, singing or playing a recorded track" Into what? Empty space? Maybe so, because according to the next sentence it was "launched" rather than initiated or started. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.251.118.110 (talk) 22:44, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like a press release

This article, from the start, reads like a company brochure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.137.249.24 (talk) 14:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"SoundHound Inc. believes in enabling humans to interact with the things around them in the same way we interact with each other: by speaking naturally to mobile phones, cars, TVs, music speakers, coffee machines, and every other part of the emerging, connected world." Really awful--they didn't even try to disguise it. Tagged as an advert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sinequabosh (talk • contribs) 07:54, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This is a company brochure. As soon as I get the time, I'm whiddling it down. Chisme (talk) 23:02, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed changes

Reply 10-MAY-2018

These claim statements and their accompanying source references are mentioned by those publications primarily because they were recent occurrences, and thus were viewed by those publications as newsworthy. Nevertheless, that mandate is not shared by Wikipedia, which has different reasons for inclusion (e.g., WP:NOTNEWS.) .spintendo⋅⋅) 01:05, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed changes

- Change opening line description to: "SoundHound AI, Inc. is a voice AI company, founded in 2005."

- Replace second sentence that explains what the company does more accurately as of 2023: "SoundHound’s independent voice AI platform allows businesses to provide customized conversational experiences to consumers through voice-enabled products, services, and apps."

- Add: "SoundHound holds more than 200 technology patents and its voice AI is available in 25 languages. The company works across the automotive, TV, IoT, restaurant, and customer service industries."

- Add to explain what the company is often known for vs. what it does now as part of the 2015 emergence from stealth: "While in still in stealth, SoundHound created a music discovery app before launching the SoundHound voice platform in 2015, built on the company's proprietary speech recognition and natural language understanding technologies."

- Add to correct and list current products available (Houndify is no longer the name of an externally facing product, the music app is no longer a core part of the business): "SoundHound's core offerings include AI-driven products like Smart Answering, Smart Ordering, Dynamic Interaction, and SoundHound Chat AI, a voice assistant with integrated Generative AI."
