The VoiceSense technology works by analyzing the typical speech patterns of individuals, leveraging prosody, the non-content features of a person’s speech, such as intonation, pace and emphasis. VoiceSense assesses over 200 prosodic speech parameters and builds an AI-driven personality profile of an individual’s characteristics, such as if the person is risk-averse or risk-tolerant, impulsive or careful, honest, conscientious, sociable and other factors that organizations want to identify when they want to learn how to approach customers, increase sales, evaluate financial risk and recruit the right employees as well as other scenarios.

Since VoiceSense leverages the non-content parameters of speech, its technology is language- and culture-independent. The audio input used ranges from real-time phone interactions to recorded voice or video interviews, enabling both real-time responsiveness and offline trends-tracking over time.
