The most famous application in the hunt for songs takes a giant step forward and is updated to offer acknowledgments on the television platform We are referring to Shazam, specifically its version 5.0.1 , the latest to hit the market. And it seems that music has outgrown him, now also opting for recognition or tagging (tagging) of films , series and even TV commercialsSo it is no longer necessary to ask or search in the guide of programming to know what is being watched
This new feature was announced yesterday, during the first day of The App Fest The first app festival to be held inMadrid to bring people the latest trends and news in this field of technology. This event featured a unique music space where, in addition to Shazam, other music-focused apps like Sezion (for recording songs from anywhere in the world), BlueBrain(customizes the playlist based on the area you walk through), Sketch Tone (allows you to paint the music), and N1, which included the participation of singer Jorge Drexler to explain how it allows you to create personalized songsfrom verses already composed.
At the event, Jonathan Davies, Head of Partnerships at Shazam , he had time to talk about these recognition news and discuss the keys to keeping an application fresh after ten years since its creation The trick of Shazam is to renew itself every time. In such a way that we have been able to witness a complete evolution from a simple service focused on finding out who sang that song, or what song it was, to a complete information tool additional. In this way, we can now discover the entire discography of an artist, listen to brief excerpts of the songs thanks to iTunes, find out where the next concerts will be, buy their records and, of course, be able to share on the social networks of the moment, Facebook and Twitter, what is being listened to.
All this with an application that, since its version 5.0, is capable of performing recognitions in just a second To which we must now add the contents of the small screen In this way, starting the application andby moving the microphone closer to the television speaker, you get all the information about what is being watched , being able to expand knowledge about the actors, creation of the series or film, etc. But not only that. It is also interactive with some ads, allowing the user to get discount coupons
