The part titled "the science bit" on their homepage is completely unscientific.

Am I looking bat the wrong place? Can someone explain the math used here?

I haven’t published the details of the algorithm. The science bit is supposed to give some idea, but not details. I know people want the details straight away, but I don’t work in academia, so my goal is not to make a publication, but to gauge interest in applications of this.

I was more hopping for something like "we use DFT instead of FFT because reasons"

No need to publish a scientific report.

Ok, I try. We use Wavelet Transform instead of FFT because it provides suitable resolution across all frequencies. P.S. I've realised that I implemented Wavelet Transform after I've already done it :)

You've been retroactively scooped!
