Why smart developers choose a DSP chip rather than run DSP algorithms on the Applications Processor … In our increasingly connected, intelligent world, voice-control opens the door for a more natural, engaging conversation with technology. Reliable, accurate voice capture relies on advanced digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and good acoustic design to ‘hear’ the wake-word and […]

Want to develop a voice enabled device that can hear across the room?

You’ll need the right acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) solution. If you’re designing a voice-enabled product for the smart home that includes a loudspeaker, you’ll need to remove the acoustic echo it generates so you can interrupt the audio stream – barge-in – and give a voice command when the device is playing such as adjust
