SoundHound is partnering with Hyundai Motor Group to bring the first voice-enabled, smart-connected SUV to the Indian market.
SoundHound is a company that turns sound into understanding and actionable meaning. Its Houndify voice AI platform allows drivers to use their voices to search in real-time for points of interests; ask about the weather, date, and time; make a phone call; and control the car’s media, navigation, and more.
Powered by SoundHound’s Houndify voice AI platform, which is integrated through the automotive company’s BlueLink Connected Car platform, the Hyundai Venue SUV enables drivers to speak queries and control various aspects of the car simply by pushing a button on the steering wheel and talking using their natural voices.
The Hyundai Venue launches with support for understanding English, specifically Indian-English accents, with support for additional languages across the Indian region coming later. The Houndify-powered Hyundai Venue began shipping in India this month.
