Harman Implements DSP Group’s SmartVoice Technology for their Sonique Total Voice Solution

Voice UI chipset specialist DSP Group, and Harman International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, announced their cooperation implementing voice input technology, based on DSP Group’s SmartVoice Audio/voice SoC and HDClear far-field multi-mic algorithms. The cooperation will enable expanding Harman's Sonique Total Voice Solution platform into a new generation of voice-enabled products.

CEVA, a leading licensor of signal processing platforms for smart, connected devices, introduced ClearVox, a new software suite of advanced voice input processing algorithms aimed at enhancing speech intelligibility and voice clarity for voice-enabled devices. ClearVox is licensed exclusively for the CEVA-TeakLite-4 and CEVA-X2 audio/voice DSPs, and extends the company’s voice portfolio with multi-mic beamforming, speaker direction of arrival, noise suppression and echo cancellation algorithms.

CEVA, a leading provider of signal processing solutions for smart, connected devices, announced that an optimized implementation of iFLYTEK's speech-recognition software suite is available for CEVA's audio/voice DSPs. The tightly-integrated solution is now available for developers, and the company confirmed it will start production of an ultra-low power voice processor targeting high-volume consumer electronics.

Voice processing has become one of the indispensable technologies on smart home and wearable devices. Precise and prompt voice command recognition, along with minimizing power consumption are key for these applications. Small array microphone and voice acoustic processing technology specialists, Fortemedia introduced its new iM501 voice processor, embedding a high-end Tensilica HiFi Mini DSP core, and providing a best-in-class solution for always-on voice detection with low power consumption.

Top MEMS supplier STMicroelectronics, DSP Group, and Sensory, a leading technology provider of voice interface and keyword-detect algorithms, have revealed details for a highly power-efficient, voice-detecting and -processing microphone that delivers keyword-recognition capabilities in a compact package. Ultra-low power voice processing and MEMS microphone circuitry enables sound detection and keyword recognition in a miniaturized single package.
