El axer? All eggs er? Alexa! Conditioning Voice Input for Recognition

Great voice recognition can only start with great voice pickup. Just “OK” pickup will greatly compromise recognition accuracy and increase user frustration. The high speech quality you need demands a high-quality audio front-end. And if cost is no object, of course you can build a great solution. But can you also satisfy mid-range markets with attractive pricing?

Challenges to Building Voice-Enabled Products

Voice-enabled devices are quickly becoming commonplace in nearly every region and for every consumer demographic. Whether making cloud-connected or offline products, OEMs need to understand what’s driving this demand for voice. Unlike some new product features, adding a voice interface requires product architects to make a number of highly-impactful, interconnected design decisions. Development teams don’t have it easy either, as integrating microphones in a product introduces another layer of complexity.
