Public Profile

Though the firm did not proceed to an SBIR Phase II, Yobe Inc has become the platform of choice for many addressing the building of intelligent audio applications. The engine behind a most compelling voice experience - structured to unlock the incredible potential of voice for innovative brands worldwide - the firm's flagship product - Yobe CAFE - is an intelligent, conversational audio front-end that is purpose-built for dynamic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments. No matter the scenario or surroundings, CAFE extracts clean, high-quality, and machine-recognizable voice data, including sophisticated linguistic patterns and biological markers. Requiring no internet connection or cloud-based computing, and able to operate on a variety of hardware platforms and operating environments, Yobe CAFE is powered by the firm's core ADL (adaptive discriminate listening) technology which not only listens more accurately than anything else but also preserves important voice metadata that drives new voice capabilities. Leading brands and voice platforms rely on Yobe to harness the commercial potential of voice. From improving the accuracy of wake words and commands to creating accurate voice-based profiles, we are t. Yobe was founded in 2016 by Army veteran and serial entrepreneur Ken Sutton and Dr. Hamid Nawab, foremost PhD in signal processing and machine perception.
