SoundHound on Tuesday launched a private beta of Hound — a personal assistant similar to Siri, Google Now and Cortana — and began fielding requests for invites. SoundHound built its music ID service on voice and pattern recognition technologies. In developing Hound, SoundHound has retrofitted that technology’s framework with what it calls its “Speech-to-Meaning” engine. The Speech-to-Meaning engine empowers Hound to understand complex requests from users much better than rival software, according to SoundHound.
