Shazam Entertainment Ltd
Shazam Entertainment has developed a breakthrough real-time song identification service for mobile phone users. The service is based on a patent-pending technology in audio pattern recognition. Shazam Entertainment´s technology is able to match a noisy audio sample captured on a mobile phone against a database of over a million tracks in less than one second. All we need is 30 seconds of sound. The search works even with background noise such as people talking or street noise, as long as the music is dominant.
Shazam offers its service to mobile operators, enabling them to drive premium service revenues with a killer music application.
Shazam's service works on any mobile phone without any upgrade to the handset or network.
Shazam Entertainment can also provide business-to-business services such as monitoring music and advertising on radio and television, ensuring that artists are paid royalties for public performances of their music.
