xcore.ai’s unique architecture combined with the XCORE-VOICE framework allows designers to incorporate keyword, event detection, or advanced local dictionary support to create a complete voice interface solution.
OVERVIEW
xcore-voice is built upon xcore.ai – the fast, flexible, economical crossover processor designed to enable voice and intelligent IoT applications.
This is a software-defined, low-power voice solution that addresses multiple markets. High performance DSP algorithms are used to extract human speech from noisy environments at distance, while simultaneously running AI payloads such as wake words and speech recognition. The audio front end incorporates far-field voice processing, on/off-line voice command recognition and turnkey example designs that enable product designers to deliver ‘across-the-room’ voice interfaces quickly and cost-effectively with optimal audio quality.
APPLICATIONS
