Kadho develops Kidsense Edge, an embedded automatic speech-recognition platform trained to understand children's voices. The model was built using a dataset of 150,000 children’s voices and is targeted at voice-enabled toys, robotics, and smart speakers. Kadho initially offered a server-based Kidsense cloud AI (late 2017) and has since developed an on-device embedded version that performs all processing locally to meet COPPA and GDPR privacy requirements. The embedded approach enables either flat-fee licensing or subscription pricing and supports over-the-air updates. The company reports deployments in several toys, robotics, and A.I. speaker products worldwide and is testing with chip makers and major kids’ brands in the U.S. Kadho has also demonstrated dual-language speech recognition that can decode two languages within a single sentence. The company reports approximately $1.2 million in annual revenue from customers on annual contracts and its SaaS model.
