It is not a coincidence. In 936 Harald Blatand was born, one of the most important kings in Denmark and Norway. Just a thousand years later, in 1936, Frans G. Bengtson, begins to write Orm El Reda novel that Intel Jim Kardach engineer was reading when technology was developed that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers and unify wireless communication. Kardach discovered that Bluend had also unified two kingdoms and suggested to baptize that technology with the name of the Danish king. This is how he was born Bluetooth name.
In 2000 it is (not coincidentally) A Danish company that develops the first fully wireless headphones Thanks to Bluetooth technology: Jabra. Twenty years later it becomes one of the first to use AI in the audio sector.
In this industry, Artificial intelligence is used for tasks that include audio improvement (Noise reduction, equalization), automation (mixture, mastering), audio creation (music generation, voices) and personalized musical experiences (recommendations). At least those are the best known and recognized.
But Jabra has created its own technology that uses algorithms to detect the tone of voice. It’s about engagement jabra and It focuses on how things are said, not what is said. This AI listens to the tone at both ends of a call, capturing voice patterns and changes in real time. As angry sounds angry in all languages, it works in all of them. It has also undergone bias tests to remain fair for all voices.
“In all the solutions we are developing – explains Camille Petit, director of sales for Iberia de Jabra – we include the entire part of algorithms with artificial intelligence to effectively suppress all the noise environments, and that The issue of audio and sound quality focuses on what the person says and not listen to the noise around. Focus precisely on what the person says. ”
Is there the possibility of simultaneous translation through artificial intelligence?
“Yes, we work a lot in collaboration with Microsoft, Zoom, Google, which are platforms and manufacturers that develop the issue of artificial intelligence -adds Petit -for example, I will take an example that is Microsoft, with whom we work the most.They have as a tool called Copilot. And this tool allows us to transcribe the conversation we have and make us a summary. The problem is that we talk five times faster than we write. So, all these artificial intelligence tools do is that they help us in our day to gain a long time. And what Copilot also has, which is an incredible thing that Microsoft has presented: the interpreter function, you speak in Spanish and I listen to you in English. It is something that really will change the lives of many people at the language level. ”
Jabra has specialized in what is a company, videoconferences, sound with microphones, what is the difference between a headset mostly intended for interviews and not for sound engineers or for melómanos?
“When we are in a videoconference if I do not have a professional headset, the transcription will not be good because there is no precision in the audio. We have, thanks to our headphones, 97% precision in the transcription of AI and a consumption headset is 64%. It is a word of every three that is not going to be transcribed well and that, in an interview is a lot of content that can be lost or misunderstood. HEmos has been the first headset manufacturer that has launched a Bluetooth headset. The future goes through AI, the new materials and a commitment to research in our Denmark Laboratories. ”
