NXP Semiconductors today announced availability of its voice solution, SLN-LOCAL-IOT, a fully integrated development platform for offline voice control.
It said in a press release that the solution consists of a full hardware module design and associated software required to implement far-field voice control with a customizable wake word and local commands. The solution is based on the i.MX RT106L crossover microcontroller (MCU), which addresses the market demand for embedded voice control in a broad range of smart home, commercial and industrial markets.
The availability of NXP’s i.MX RT106L MCU-based voice control solution makes it possible for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to now leverage a complete production ready solution to drastically reduce system cost and time to market. The solution delivers private, secure, low latency, hands-free experiences to end users.
Additionally, the local voice control solution eliminates the costs and complexities of Cloud connectivity and can help protect user’s privacy by enabling audio to be processed directly on the device. This is achieved with integrated, machine-learning-based, automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, delivered in partnership with Sonos, one of the world’s leading sound experience brands that recently acquired Snips, a pioneer in embedded voice recognition software for businesses, products and services.
