MUMBAI: SoundHound, the revolutionary sound search company, announced the launch of a new, free version of its popular mobile application on the Android Market. The free application offers unlimited voice and text searches, unlimited lyrics, and five free music recognition searches every month. The premium version of SoundHound, which offers unlimited music recognition searches, is now available in the Android Market as SoundHound Infinity.
In response to the growing demand for SoundHound on the Android platform, we are enabling even more fans to experience instant music search and discovery,… said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO of SoundHound Inc.
The existing premium application that millions of music fans already enjoy is now called SoundHound Infinity – a nod to its unlimited search and discovery – and designated with the � symbol. The free app inherits the SoundHound name; music fans needing more than five music recognition searches a month can easily follow the upgrade path that seamlessly links back to the Android Market where SoundHound Infinity can be downloaded. When the user upgrades, their bookmarks and song, artist, and lyric search history migrates from the free version into the premium version so they retain their SoundHound history.
SoundHound makes it easy and fast for fans to search, discover and share music. Features in both SoundHound and SoundHound Infinity include:
* Blazing fast music recognition. Fans can identify music playing from a speaker (radio, TV, films) in as little as four seconds.
* Sing & Hum music recognition. If the user can carry a tune, SoundHound can identify it.
* Voice-directed search. The fan simply speaks a Title or Artist to explore, and get results instantly, including links to video, discography, artist info and more.
* Instant sharing with integrated and customizable email and Twitter options.
* Lyrics, videos and other rich content.
* Buy links for easy purchase of songs and related content, including Amazon MP3
Both applications are available on the Android Market. SoundHound Infinity is available for an introductory price of $4.99. More information can be found on http://www.soundhound.com
