What we do

Technology

If you were able to automatically detect the mood of your users your technology could attempt to improve their mood to aid productivity, respond sensitively to them to help them in times of difficulty, or monitor them for measures of quality of service. The ability to automatically recognise emotion is something we as humans find easy but which to date has been confined to the realms science fiction. However any technology enhanced with emotion recognition would have a wealth of previously unavailable knowledge in which to react and respond to users more naturally and effectively.

We at Affective Media Limited have brought science fiction to reality and have developed a novel automatic emotion recognition system that can recognise the emotional state of a person from how they speak.

Speech recognition systems can automatically determine the words you say, our emotion recognition system can automatically recognise the mood you are in as you speak. Any technology with this new knowledge of the emotion of the user can be more responsive to their needs, providing a means for them to become more productive and/or stimulating and engaging with them to enhance entertainment.

Specification

The technology can recognise a large range of subtle and extreme emotions and can also be easily trained on those emotions required for your market and application sector. The granularity of the recognition is scalable and can work with single sounds, single words, multiple words, sentences, multiple sentences, and passages as required.

The technology development is based on our experience in speech recognition, analysis and classification together with our work in psychology, sociology and user interaction, and builds upon a decade of research and development by the team.

The technology has been developed in-house with retained IPR and is modular to minimise required effort to re-engineer for the range of application areas. It is also scalable and can monitor one or many conversations simultaneously, for example in large scale call centres or air traffic control.
