EveryWord ™ Ultra Far-Field Voice Development Kit
Ultra Far-Field AVS Reference Design Kit featuring Cirrus Logic Soundclear®, NXP and Sensory Vocie Control Technology
Developed at ArkX Laboratories by our expert team of engineers, qualified by Amazon AVS and manufactured to exceedingly high standards, the EveryWord™ Development Kit allows developers to test and validate their own voice-enabled products using an advanced voice solution to mitigate risk, reduce development costs, and accelerate their time-to-market.
EveryWord™ ultra far-field voice capture and control solutions offer an unmatched voice experience for H2H and H2M interfaces. Utilizing 3-D reverberation technology, our solutions capture voice commands from 3X the distance (up to 9+ meters) versus traditional beam forming technology. Our solutions work reliably around corners and in noisy and reverberative environments –all without having to lower the playback volume from other loud or competing single-point noise sources.
Our 3-D reverberation technology provides maximum design flexibility for the industrial designer to achieve his goals. The technology works well regardless of fixed and mobile obstructions in the audio path. Complex living spaces, work environments, and competing talkers are no problem. Our solution utilizes 12 AECs (Acoustic Echo Cancellers) which provide superior barge-in performance versus the competitors’ standard 1-2 AEC solutions. EveryWord™ products support ultra-low power operation, ideal for battery-powered applications. EveryWord™ solutions are simultaneously compatible with the leading WWE (Wake Word Engines) and voice services, including Amazon, Google, Siri, Cortana, AliGenie, Baidu/Kitt.aias, and other proprietary solutions.
Our advanced production-ready, far-field voice capture solutions enable unmatched human-to-human and human-to-machine speech recognition that significantly outperforms existing OEM solutions. Best of all, our entire portfolio is Amazon Voice Service (AVS) pre-qualified to reduce development costs, mitigate risks and accelerate your time-to-market.
