Empath’s AI detects emotion from your voice venturebeat.com

A relatively new entrant in the emotion detection segment is Empath, a Toyko-based startup founded in 2017.
A range of products fill out Empath’s suite, including My Mood forecast, an app employees can tap to track changes in their emotion and how those shifts correlate with weather patterns.
More straightforwardly, Empath’s Web Empath API — which works across Windows, iOS, Android — adds emotion detection to existing apps and services.
At IFA 2019 in Berlin, I spoke briefly with company representatives who asserted that Empath’s advantage over rivals is twofold.
And because it has chosen to hone in on a relatively narrow slice of emotions, Empath’s able to achieve higher baseline levels of accuracy and precision.
