Blackberry Software Engineer at MELODIS

About the Company:

MELODIS is a sound search technology and applications company headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. Its mission is to make sound and speech the preferred means to search and navigate information on mobile or IP connected devices.

MELODIS is the creator of the Sound2Sound™ Search Science, a proprietary methodology that searches sound against sound, bypassing traditional sound to text conversion techniques even when searching text databases. The result is improved accuracy, faster response time and increased scalability. Sound2Sound™ Search Science powers applications including Midomi music search and ID and Melodis Voice Dialer. MELODIS has numerous partnerships with global companies including leading device manufacturers and operators that are leveraging the Sound2Sound™ Search Science for their respective platforms.

MELODIS's R&D strategy is driven by conviction that sound and a user’s own voice can be the simplest and most natural interface to access information. We are strong believers in mobile Internet and hosted or “cloud-based” IP services.

Incorporated in September 2005, MELODIS is headquartered in San Jose, California, and has offices in Tokyo, Japan. The company is backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, including Global Catalyst Partners, TransLink Capital and Walden Venture Capital.
