JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation, Safety & Security Sector (JVCKENWOOD USA), along with E.F. Johnson Company, a JVCKENWOOD company (EFJohnson), is excited to announce a new partnership with VoiceBrain to offer their advanced AI software platform to Kenwood dealers and their business, industrial, and mission-critical customers. VoiceBrain’s AI software captures and converts millions of daily voice communications into data, enhancing the functionality of existing two-way radios.

VoiceBrain’s software seamlessly integrates with two-way radios, transcribing voice communications in real-time and creating a searchable database stored securely in the cloud. This AI technology analyzes voice transmissions to identify critical content, sending immediate alerts and notifications about urgent situations. The resulting database can then be used to improve decision-making, operations, safety, and security. The VoiceBrain Assistant enables the analysis of thousands of hours of data within seconds, allowing customers to quickly perform queries and generate reports.

Continuous monitoring of voice transmissions with VoiceBrain allows users to set up unique SMS, email, and IoT alerts to notify key personnel of safety issues, production stops, or service delays in real-time, enabling prompt responses. This feature is especially effective in scenarios requiring instant decision-making, such as theft detection, emergency evacuations, equipment malfunctions, and traffic incidents.

“Every day, Kenwood two-way radio users share important information about their organization’s operations. Until now, there was no way to easily capture, transcribe, and analyze those voice transmissions and convert them into actionable information. With VoiceBrain, management can now access that information and use it for decision making,” said Mark Jasin, Executive VP and General Manager, JVCKENWOOD USA Corp. “We are pleased to collaborate with VoiceBrain to offer Kenwood dealers and their customers a proven AI technology to help streamline their operations, pinpoint problems, respond in real-time to emergencies, and offer enhanced staff safety and security.”

“Two-way radio systems are the backbone for critical communications in both the public safety and enterprise spaces. We welcome the role of AI in optimizing those systems and bringing greater value to our customers,” said John North, VP Enterprise Systems, EFJohnson. “VoiceBrain technology can analyze historical data, identify patterns, assess risks, and provide predictive analysis to help our customers be more proactive about potential hazards.”

“We are thrilled to be a strategic partner to a brand as widely respected as Kenwood,” said Kinuko Masaki, Founder and CEO of VoiceBrain. “JVCKENWOOD is acknowledged worldwide as a technology and quality leader. We are especially pleased to provide a new solution that supports their commitment to providing the latest industry-leading solutions to their national network of dealers and business, industrial, and mission-critical customers.”
