Tempo and meter of a music file are among the major perceptual characteristics of a music file. Their automatic estimation allows to get these values for large collections of music files. They can therefore be used to perform automatic music classification of large music collections, search by similarity over large music collections and automatic music play-list generation. The technology can therefore benefit to music providers, online music portals or offline media-player developers.

Beats and downbeats define the time-grid of a music file. They are used as front-end – for the estimation of many other music parameters and – for other processings (time-stretching, segmentation, DJ-ing). The technology for their automatic estimation can therefore benefit to music software developers (music production, music DJ-ing software).

Personalized audio: the technology offers the user the possibility of enjoying a broadcast TV program in his/her favorite language. Additional languages are streamed on demand from a server and can be rendered either on the main TV screen or on a personal device (e.g. smartphone with headphone).

Multi-view on multi-screen: the user can enrich the broadcast TV program (e.g. music live concert or sport event) by selecting additional points of views rendered on a second screen, e.g. a tablet.

Hybrid stereoscopic 3D TV: it consists in rendering a 3D side-by-side content without monopolizing a broadcast channel. One view is transmitted over a broadcast network whilst the other view is delivered over Internet. Each view can be rendered independently as a 2D content.

Everyone who has to deal with document classification with a large amount of already classified documents.

The use of automatic speech recognition is so manifold that it is hard to list here. The main usages today are customer interaction via the telephone, healthcare dictation and usage on car navigation systems and smartphones. These applications will with increasingly better technology extend to audio mining, speech translation and an increased use of human computer interaction via speech.
