I’m pleased to share some news from my small audio DSP software house at www.AudioWatermarking.com. I have just been granted US Patent 11,978,461 — a key addition to the growing collection of innovations, marking another significant personal and professional milestone in my journey at www.AudioWatermarking.com.
This is the third major patent in the line of patents protecting my core DSP technologies focused on audio watermarking and acoustic fingerprinting. Our suite of tools, including Audio Watermarking Tools (AWT) and Audio Fingerprinting Tools (AFT), is at the forefront of forensic audio watermarking, steganography, and acoustic fingerprinting software solutions. This patent is another small personal achievement in my humble engineering career. It is also a step forward for AWT technology and the trust and confidence it provides its users. It’s moments like these that reflect the cumulative effort of countless hours of work and the unwavering support from family and customers.
We look forward to continuing to innovate and provide our clients with state-of-the-art solutions that meet their evolving needs. Your support fuels our continued passion and commitment to enhancing the security and reliability of audio DSP technologies.

TrustedAudio.com — secure, watermarked audio delivery platform
We’ve just launched TrustedAudio.com – secure, watermarked audio delivery platform.
TrustedAudio is a web-based service addressing anti-piracy needs of individual musicians, composers, labels, studios and various music and audio professionals (and especially those, who are less into “computer science” and more into their profession).
A short description: “TrustedAudio (TA) is a professional web-based tool that provides an easy and reliable way to share, deliver, and distribute audio files securely by means of watermarking and digital signing. Simply log in, upload your audio files, fill in the recipients’ info, and send the files! All recipients receive their own uniquely and inaudibly watermarked (“digitally signed”) copy of each distributed audio file. Unique watermarks are embedded into every audio file copy delivered to each individual recipient. Records of each watermark, together with the file and the recipient info associated with it, are securely stored in the TA database, enabling the file owner to identify and back-trace delivered copies at any time, instantly and reliably”.

wavedraw – a simple tool that generates BMP waveform picture of a sound file
Ever needed to generate a waveform picture of an audio file? I was in need of such tool myself and, to my big surprise, didn’t find any! So I wrote it myself. The tool loads a standard RIFF wave sound file (.wav), generates waveform picture and stores it in BMP format. You can specify any desired picture size and background/foreground colors. Only one (left) audio channel of the input file is analyzed.
the tool is free. Use it on your own risk.

AWT2 is now patented
I have been granted U.S. Patent No. 8,116,514 for the watermarking technology behind AWT2.
AudioTag.info – music recognition robot
It’s my pleasure to announce a preview stage of free music recognition service – AudioTag.info.
AudioTag.info — is a free music-recognition service. It allows you to identify almost any unknown piece of music quickly and easily. Its use is very simple: you upload a short audio fragment or an entire song, the robot analyzes it and provides you with the information about the track title, artist name, album title, etc. Your audio fragment can be in almost any file format and of almost any quality (aurally recognizable, of course) — it can be an MP3 file downloaded from the Internet or a short recording made with your old tape recorder and stored as a low-quality .WAV-file.
