What is ViveEngine?
ViveEngine is an audio orchestration engine for desktop. It sits between audio apps and the OS, letting you intercept, process, and reroute audio streams — both input (microphone) and output (speakers).
Think of it as a control layer that gives your app power over all audio on the system.
The challenge of audio integration
Many companies have innovative live audio processing algorithms — voice transformation, AI-powered enhancement, speech analysis, you name it.
But having the algorithm is only half the battle.
The other half? Getting it to work with the software users already have — Discord, Zoom, games, browsers, you name it. Users don't want to change their habits. They want your magic to "just work" with their existing setup.
This is a surprisingly hard problem. Intercepting audio at the OS level, dealing with drivers, handling multiple apps, working across platforms, supporting all kinds of audio hardware — it's niche, complicated, and frankly boring compared to building your actual innovation.
ViveEngine solves this for you. You focus on your algorithm. ViveEngine lets you plug it into the system and work automatically with the apps users already use.
What can I do with it?
- Inject processing: Apply effects to audio streams in real-time. Combine built-in effects and your own custom algorithms.
- Capture and analyze: Grab audio from any app for recording, transcription, or analysis.
- Add captions and translation: Built-in live captioning and translation.
- Reroute audio: Control which apps go to which audio devices. Cross-platform API that works on both Windows and macOS.
- Control via RPC: Manage the engine and configure processing pipelines using a high-level gRPC API from any language.
- Write custom plugins: Extend the engine with your own processing or business logic.
Who uses it?
ViveEngine is a B2B product for developers building audio-centric applications:
- Call center software: AI voice modification and enhancement.
- Meeting recording and analysis tools: Capture and process audio from any conference app.
- Compliance, security, and monitoring: Manage and analyze calls for regulatory compliance, threat detection, proctoring.
- Gaming audio enhancement: Real-time audio effects for gaming.
- Accessibility software: Live captions and audio assistance.
- Streaming and broadcasting tools: Professional audio processing for content creators.
