> This isn't just "big tech replicating a commonplace feature", it's big tech implementing it at all where little tech could not. Well I guess our experiences were quite different then. I was able to get SoundHound to recognize the vast majority of the tunes I hummed for it back in 2008/2009. And I used it a lot. I did only choose popular songs though. It's not surprising IMHO that a company 12 years later with much greater resources could extend recognition to a much larger variety of songs. So I wouldn't call it "little tech could not."
