Audio Analytic

Based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, Audio Analytic develops embedded artificial intelligence and machine learning software that enables consumer technology devices to recognize and respond to specific environmental sounds. The company operates a business-to-business licensing model, providing its acoustic event detection platform to manufacturers across the smart home, wearable, automotive, and mobile device sectors. Prior to its corporate acquisition, the enterprise scaled its workforce to approximately 50 employees and raised roughly $25 million in total venture funding. Audio Analytic secured financial backing from venture firms including National Grid Partners and IQ Capital, while providing audio intelligence technology to original equipment manufacturers like Bosch and Withings. In late 2022, the business was acquired by Meta to integrate advanced sound recognition capabilities into its augmented and virtual reality hardware portfolio. Audio Analytic was founded in 2010 by Dr. Chris Mitchell.
