EveryWord™ Audio Front End (AFE)Voice Processing Module
Ultra Far-Field DSP Audio Front End (AFE) features Cirrus Logic Soundclear® and NXP Technology (Sensory Voice Interaction Technology also available)
EveryWord™ ultra far-field voice capture and control DSP solutions offer an unmatched voice experience for H2H and H2M interfaces. Utilizing 3-D reverberation technology, our AFE Voice Module captures 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.
