Watermarking and fingerprinting<\/h2>\n

Detect uses two identification methods. Inaudible watermarks powered by Digimarc<\/a><\/strong> technology are applied when tracks are uploaded for monitoring. SourceAudio\u2019s neural fingerprinting also recognises unwatermarked recordings, including older catalog material.<\/p>\n
