SoundHound App

Identify songs and play music with the SoundHound app

Visit SoundHound App

SoundHound App is a music identification and playback application that recognizes songs playing in the user's surroundings and provides artist and album details. It also surfaces lyrics in real time for karaoke-style following, and supports hands-free operation through the "Hey SoundHound" wake word.

The app combines music detection, lyrics display, search, and playback of favorite tracks. Voice control is powered by the Houndify speech platform, which uses SoundHound's Speech-to-Meaning engine and Deep Meaning Understanding technology to interpret spoken queries, including follow-up questions and filtered results. Houndify also supports custom wake words and custom domains for branded voice experiences.

The app is aimed at consumers who want to identify and play music by voice or by tapping. It is available as a download; the pages do not describe a free plan, trial, or specific editions for this app.
