I was looking for a way to see the lyrics of a song on Spotify. The official Spotify help page recommended using SoundHound instead for lyrics. SoundHound can listen to the music and show you the lyrics in real time line by line. That was pretty cool. I wonder how Shazam and SoundHound differ and how they make money.

Plug here: I used to work for SoundHound. They just have more sophisticated deep learning going on (the cofounders wrote the original papers on deep learning back at standford). SoundHound and Shazaam are similar on the surface, but its all the tech underneath that's different.

SoundHound truly is the most innovative company I have worked at so far, and their tech is the very best I've seen, and I've worked at quite a few tech shops by now. Their partnership with Nvidia is awesome, and I can't wait to see their work come to fruition.
