Sensory’s Approach

Sensory is a technology development house that licenses embedded AI to differentiate products and make them safer and easier to use. Sensory’s flexible wake word, small to large vocabulary speech recognition, and natural language understanding technologies are fueling today’s voice revolution. Additionally, its biometric recognition technologies are making everything from unlocking a device to authenticating users for digital transactions faster, safer and more convenient.

Environmental Commitment

At Sensory, Inc., we believe that technology can be a driving force for both innovation and environmental stewardship. To reinforce our commitment to a sustainable future, we are excited to announce a new partnership with One Tree Planted. Through this collaboration, Sensory pledges to plant 100 trees in 2025 and steadily increase that number as we grow our company. This initiative allows us to directly contribute to global reforestation efforts, making a tangible difference with every action we take.

In addition to our tree-planting efforts, Sensory’s cutting-edge technology is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. Our embedded speech-to-text, wake word, and emergency vehicle solutions operate without relying on the cloud, significantly reducing energy consumption and minimizing the heat generated by devices. By reducing the need for constant cloud access, we help lower the carbon footprint associated with everyday digital interactions, further emphasizing our dedication to environmentally responsible technology.

We remain steadfast in promoting reforestation and environmental awareness in every aspect of our business. Together, with your support, we are creating a greener and more sustainable world—one tree and one innovation at a time.
