Sensory develops embedded software that recognises wake phrases, spoken commands and sounds, giving products a way to respond through voice.
For someone wearing earbuds or smart glasses, a spoken request can put a function within reach without finding a button or reaching for a phone. In an appliance, local command recognition can offer hands-free operation. Sensory’s separate sound-identification capabilities also support recognising relevant alarms and alerts in wearable applications.
Each interaction starts with a clear job for the software. A wake-word engine recognises the phrase that activates the interface. Command recognition lets the product act on a request. Later stages of a more complex assistant may still use connected services, even when activation happens on the device.

Sensory’s Smart Wake Word adds adjustable detection thresholds and more flexible placement of the trigger phrase within a spoken request. Those choices help engineers shape how people address a product and how it distinguishes an intended request from background conversation.
The design questions are practical: which phrases will users say, what sounds will surround them, and what memory and power budget is available? Come and discuss those decisions with Astute’s experts, with the demonstration providing a way to see the technology working.
