Soundskrit

Venture Round in 2021
Soundskrit is fundamentally changing the way sound is measured to bring the next generation of audio applications. The many emerging voice applications and interfaces have driven a need to capture sound from farther distances while remaining robust to noise. Because traditional pressure based microphones pick up sound coming from every direction, arrays of multiple microphones are needed to listen to a specific direction and ignore surrounding noise. This comes at a cost of increased size and decreased audio quality. Our bio-inspired, directional microphone directly measures the velocity of incoming sound rather than pressure. With a single microphone, we can separate sounds coming from multiple directions without compromising on size or quality. Soundskrit will greatly improve speech recognition and sound localization, enabling a new suite of features to consumer electronics.

Soundskrit

Seed Round in 2019
Soundskrit is fundamentally changing the way sound is measured to bring the next generation of audio applications. The many emerging voice applications and interfaces have driven a need to capture sound from farther distances while remaining robust to noise. Because traditional pressure based microphones pick up sound coming from every direction, arrays of multiple microphones are needed to listen to a specific direction and ignore surrounding noise. This comes at a cost of increased size and decreased audio quality. Our bio-inspired, directional microphone directly measures the velocity of incoming sound rather than pressure. With a single microphone, we can separate sounds coming from multiple directions without compromising on size or quality. Soundskrit will greatly improve speech recognition and sound localization, enabling a new suite of features to consumer electronics.
