It’s not often these days that we’re gobsmacked by the power and efficiency of an app, but as this leaked internal video demonstrates, the new Hound app from SoundHound looks to enter the biometric input market and obliterate it from the inside.

Expect news of a Google take over shortly.

As you can see, the app encourages you (and can more than handle) cross-referencing by cross-referencing by cross-referencing.

The Hound app is way more than just a voice recognition app. It’s a voice-controlled interface that SoundHound intends to look inside and search every electronic device in the world. And they’re proving this with their “Houndify” system which developers can use to integrate Hound technology and voice control into their own apps, and also plug their data and APIs into its interface.

It’s been in development for 10 years now and it looks like it’s paid off. Still, a tough market to try compete in thought.

PhotoMath reads and solves incredibly complicated and otherwise impossible mathematical expressions by using the camera of your mobile device in real time. They say on their website that it makes math easy and simple by educating users how to solve math problems. What they really should say is that the only people who are going to use this app are those that have the need to actually solve these complicated maths problems, like, y’know, maths majors during their final year exams. It’s official, cheating has never been easier.

With all that said, this is still an incredibly impressive app and in the hands of an honest and hard working student who really cares about HOW to get to the answer of a problem and not just THE ANSWER itself, I can see how this thing can be an astonishingly helpful study aid.
