Wavio develops and markets intelligent sound recognition development toolkits for developers to improve the functionality and user experience of smart home devices, voice assistants, robotics, and interactive products. Wavio run as a Reactive Web Application enabling developers to deploy install-and-run sound recognition software capitalizing on proprietary audio signal processing algorithms through an intuitive development console. After just a few minutes of registering and setting up sound assistant(s), users can download them into anything running Linux. The Wavio sound assistant software can detect the relative source and type of real-time sounds via a sound recognizing assistant installed on a microphone hardware through command line interface tools (CLI). Story of how Wavio came to be: Greyson Watkins, the company’s founder, is profoundly Deaf. Back in 2014, he was taking care of a little girl. The little girl accidentally tripped and fell down the stairs and cried for his help. Greyson couldn’t hear her crying until she had to walk over to get his attention. He was struck with an overwhelming feeling of helplessness. From this realization, Wavio was founded in 2015 with a social impact vision to make generic, ambient sounds accessible by integrating sound recognition software on machines. In doing so, Greyson envisioned a world where everyone and everything can be aware of the surrounding sounds, and where machines can communicate efficiently via IoT solutions intelligently responding to specific sounds such as those associated with emergencies, natural disasters, context and other life-threatening scenarios. Wavio is consisted of a diverse and innovative group of people who strive to generate impact and transform the way we think about sound recognition and sound contextual awareness capitalizing on AI technology. https://angel.co/wavio-2 https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/wavio
