We are launching the TvTak App in the next few days in the Apple App Store. 

We also provide a white-label Software Development Kit (or SDK) for other companies to use our technology within their own apps.

We have developed unique algorithms for instant video recognition of TV Shows as they’re being broadcast.

Everything is real-time, there´s no need to process any video before hand.

It works on any television set, no need to have a special set-up box or to buy a new TV with WIFI connection.

No other App available today is able to point at a television, and detect a show or a commercial within one second.

To compare, Apps using audio recognition take between 5 to 12 seconds to recognize a signal.
