Unisound operates on a business-to-business model, providing its technology solutions primarily through a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription. The company’s core offerings revolve around a proprietary machine-learning platform that encompasses speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), speech synthesis, and voiceprint recognition. This technology enables more natural human-machine interaction, allowing users to communicate with devices and robotics through voice commands. The company's revenue is generated from these recurring software subscriptions, along with custom development, consulting, and support services tailored to meet specific client needs.
The firm's technology is applied across a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, automotive, education, and smart home appliances. In the healthcare sector, its voice interaction solutions are deployed in numerous major Chinese hospitals, and it has developed a voiceprint recognition login system for online healthcare platforms with a claimed accuracy of 99%. For the automotive industry, Unisound provides intelligent car solutions and holds a substantial aftermarket share in China. The company also offers "UniHome," an IoT solution for smart homes that includes voice-controlled devices. A key differentiator for Unisound is its proprietary AIoT chip, which combines AI and IoT technologies for faster processing.
