Read MoreHide Full Article
Knowles Corporation (KN - Free Report) has launched the AISonic Bluetooth Standard Solution. It is an innovative development solution that enables seamless voice integration to Bluetooth devices. The package allows manufacturers to integrate voice-driven calling and far-field speech recognition capabilities into devices.
It is already available for customers and comes under Knowles’ new line of reference solutions for voice activation, control and contextual audio processing. The kit is built upon the company’s industry-leading AISonic Audio Edge Processor IA8201, which achieves high performance with low power consumption.
The solution package balances scalability and flexibility for easy integration across a wide range of embedded platforms. This has helped Knowles’ partners to scale in developing Alexa Voice Service and Alexa Auto solutions. As connected devices come to market, it has become even more crucial to rapidly integrate voice capabilities in a hassle-free manner.
With the growing demand for voice control, there are ample opportunities for voice integration, which has extended from inside the home to mobile, automotive, wearable and other applications. Knowles’ solution also includes algorithms for an Audio Front End, suitable for use with many voice assistants.
Knowles aims to capitalize on its unique capabilities in acoustics, digital signal processing and algorithms to help users engage with technology through naturally spoken commands across Mobile, Ear and IoT. It is witnessing stronger-than-expected MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) microphone demand in multiple end markets, and improving trends in the Hearing Health business.
