About
Hi Auto has developed a software-only deep learning system that uses a speaker-facing camera and a single microphone for more accurate speech recognition and clear speech enhancement. The system can eliminate the most challenging noise sources, including multiple speakers, radios, sirens, and heavy rain. Hi Autos most recent launch is touchless.ai, a platform that turns any interactive touch kiosk into a touchless, voice-operated kiosk designed to work perfectly in noisy commercial environments.
