SoundHound Inc. announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to create a large-vocabulary, hybrid voice and natural language understanding interface for in-vehicle infotainment systems that is based on deep learning. The solution uses the fastest and most efficient Speech Recognition Engine from Houndify, the NVIDIA DRIVE platform, and SoundHound Inc.s patented technologies for running dual mode speech recognition simultaneously in the cloud and in the embedded system. With the Houndify integration, drivers can interact with more than 100 domains, programs that provide users with relevant information or actions related to their queries.

These include, among other applications: directions, weather, stock prices, sports scores, flight status, local business searches, and hotel searches with complex criteria. They can also control a car's systems, such as heating/cooling, rolling the windows up and down, playing music, or accessing a phone.
