Overview
Shazam is a very unique app owned and published by Apple Inc. The app was initially released in 2002 and was eventually acquired by Apple in 2018. Interestingly, Shazam can identify music, movies, advertising, and television shows, based on a short sample played and using the microphone on the device. Technically, Shazam works by analyzing the captured sound and seeking a match based on an acoustic fingerprint in a database that is composed of millions of songs. Once it finds a match, it will automatically send information including the song title, the artist, and even the album where the song is part of. Shazam is also equipped with impressive visual recognition technology that allows you to identify movies, tv shows, brands, and more.
