Extraordinary iPhone app identifies TV shows by 'listening'

Best Shows of the '90s

  • IntoNow CEO Adam Cahan held an iPad near a TV in the CNET offices and pressed a small green button on an app
  • Unlike SoundHound and Shazam, chances are that viewers aren't looking for help identifying the name of the show or title of the episode
  • The television companion application is designed to create an easy way for users to connect with friends around the shows that they love
  • Better performance was achieved testing the app on a television with home theater surround sound where two of three shows were recognized
  • Instead, IntoNow hopes that couch potatoes will use the information to get social, sharing their TV picks on Facebook and Twitter and talking about the shows
