Lack of situational awareness can be disorienting and dangerous for the Deaf & hard of hearing. Current accessibility products on the market are extremely limited with nothing to distinguish between sounds. It would take literally millions of sound samples to create a machine-learning model that could report with any level of accuracy. And that’s exactly the problem we solved.

See Sound is the world’s first smart home hearing system. Plug the unit(s) directly into the wall outlet & connect to the app on your phone. When a sound occurs, the closest See Sound makes a prediction based on its confidence level, alerting the user on their devices.

To overcome the massive technological barrier in place, we leveraged a data set of over 2 million 10-second sound clips sourced from billions of YouTube videos. Each were manually analyzed, annotated, and organized into the Google Audio Set. Our machine-learning model was then trained with these data to achieve an incredibly high accuracy level.
