VoiceHub is a convenient online portal that enables developers to quickly create wake word models and voice control command sets. Designed for prototyping and proof-of-concept purposes with flexibility in mind, VoiceHub allows users to easily select languages and model sizes through drop down menus. And voice user interface (VUI) designers can leverage VoiceHub to produce natural language-enabled products capable of supporting dozens of languages and dialects – ideal for creating products targeting a global market.
"Providing free access to flexible tools like VoiceHub helps to accelerate the next wave of branded voice experiences and domain-specific, customized voice assistants," says Todd Mozer, CEO at Sensory. "Since releasing the VoiceHub beta in October, VUI designers around the world have used it to create hundreds of voice AI models for dozens of automotive, wearable, smart speaker and smart home products. Our new large vocabulary and NLU capabilities will unlock enhanced VUI functionality with intents and entities. This empowers designers to develop more complex and truly conversational voice interfaces with the capability of handling millions of unique phrases."
Sensory has been providing early access to select partners and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. To demonstrate the possibilities, Sensory is partnering with STMicroelectronics to show how the new tool can be used with the STM32 Discovery Board to quickly create fully-functional voice recognition solutions.
"ST customers truly appreciate the working relationship we have with Sensory, whose technology always delivers on its accuracy and performance promises," says Daniel Colonna, Microcontrollers Marketing Director at STMicroelectronics. "By adding VoiceHub to the menu of Sensory technologies accessible to our STM32 Discovery Board customers, developers are able to design working prototypes of natural language-capable products in a manner of minutes, not days, dramatically reducing their time to market."
In the demonstration pictured above, using the STM32 Discovery kit, the two companies show a prototype of a voice interface for a coffee dispensing machine, using the wake word "hey barista."
The two companies will promote a joint VoiceHub webinar, January 27, 2021, to promote the results of their collaboration. In the event, Sensory and STMicroelectronics will jointly demonstrate creating large vocabulary, NLU models for the STM32 Discovery kit. Attendees will learn how to create custom wake words, domain-specific language models, and integrate with the ST development platforms. Sensory and ST are working together on rapid domain-specific voice UI prototyping and development, where designers can have a test file ready within an hour of building their model. Webinar registration is open here.
For wake word phrase spotted commands VoiceHub supports dozens of platforms from companies such as ST, DSPG and Ambiq. However, ST is the first partner platform demonstrating VoiceHub download for NLU and large vocabulary applications.Sensory's technologies are already widely deployed in consumer electronics applications including mobile phones, automotive, wearables, toys, and various connected home electronics. Sensory's product line includes TrulyHandsfree voice control, TrulySecure biometric authentication, and TrulyNatural large vocabulary natural language embedded speech recognition.
VoiceHub is now online.
