As announced in January 2022, ArkX integrated its Everyword far-field voice capture and control solutions with custom speech recognition engines from Sensory. EveryWord Voice Control leverages ArkX Labs' production-ready far-field voice capture AFE or Voice Module solutions to create a powerful voice interface for consumer and industrial applications, including appliances, robotics, wearables, toys, medical equipment, and smart home hubs. The combination with Sensory TrulyHandsfree enable fast responses, ultra-low current consumption, and superior performance from 3X the distance even in noisy environments.
All ArkX EveryWord Voice Capture Development Kits come with Sensory next generation voice control technology already embedded enabling developers to implement wake words customized to a specific brand and application for reliable voice control not dependent on an Internet or Wi-Fi connection. The combined platform support over 21 languages and dialects for embedded/local command sets. Speaker Verification is also able for security sensitive applications, using voice biomarkers to recognize a user identity.
"Brands increasingly want to create their own branded voice experiences for their customers," says Eric Bauswell, CEO of ArkX Labs. "Working with Sensory, we have integrated a powerful set of advanced voice control capabilities that enable OEMs to own the voice experience with custom wake-words, customized commands and specific tasks for their applications, plus a base level of security with speaker verification. It is truly disrupting the status quo of voice."
EveryWord Ultra Far-field solutions deliver superior speech recognition by capturing voice commands from three times (3X) the standard distance of existing offerings, around corners and in noisy and reflective environments. Additionally, EveryWord technology provides the unique ability to identify and suppress speech or noise from other single-point sources.
The EveryWord Ultra portfolio consists of an Audio Front End (AFE) Voice Processing Module, an Integrated Voice Module (SOM + Audio Board w/AFE) and an AVS Development Kit qualified by Amazon Voice Service (AVS). The production-ready voice solutions enable OEMs and start-ups to mitigate risk, reduce development costs and time and accelerate time-to-market for their voice-enabled smart products and devices.
