Sensory, Inc. is a Santa Clara based company which develops and makes speech technologies on both hardware (Integrated Circuit - IC or "chip") and software platforms for consumer products, offering IC and software-only solutions for speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker verification, music synthesis.[1][2]

Sensory’s products are used in consumer electronics applications including mobile, automotive, Bluetooth devices, toys, and various home electronics. To date, more than 40 mobile handsets, tablets, and wearables have shipped with Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree in volumes of hundreds of millions.{{cn|date=May 2015}}

History

Sensory, Inc. was founded in 1994, originally as Sensory Circuits, by Forrest Mozer, Mike Mozer and Todd Mozer. The three had also co-founded ESS Technology years earlier. In 1999 Sensory acquired Fluent Speech Technologies, which was formed and started by a group of professors out of the Oregon Graduate Institute (formerly OGI, now OHSU). Fluent Speech Technologies developed high performance embedded speech engines, the technology from this acquisition is now the core technology used throughout Sensory’s chip and software line.[3]
