Beyond Verbal is an Israeli start-up company that has developed a tool for Emotion recognition using vocal intonation.
[1][2] Beyond Verbal commercializes patented technology from 18 years of research by physicists and neuropsychologists into the mechanisms of human intonations.

The idea for Beyond Verbal came to Levanon after observing how babies, who do not understand a single word, can figure out how their caretakers feel about them.
After testing 60,000 subjects in 26 languages, he developed a system called Emotion Analytics to extract, decode and measure human moods, attitudes and personalities.
