Image Recognition
Apple in 2018 closed its $400 million acquisition of music recognition app Shazam. Now, it's bringing Shazam's audio recognition capabilities to app developers in the form of the new ShazamKit. With the new ShazamKit, developers will now be able to leverage Shazam's audio recognition capabilities to create their own app experiences. There are three parts to the new framework: Shazam catalog recognition, which lets developers add song recognition to their apps; custom catalog recognition, which performs on-device matching against arbitrary audio; and library management. Shazam catalog recognition is what you probably think of when you think of the Shazam experience today.
