The announcement coincides with the growing demand from Fortune 1000 companies, OEMs, and start-ups who want to bring their voice-enabled smart products and devices to market. The EveryWord portfolio offers a production-ready path that delivers a high-quality voice experience while mitigating risk, reducing development costs, and accelerating time-to-market.
"ArkX Laboratories’ advanced far-field audio products offer unique features and capabilities in the rapidly growing voice marketplace. They have clearly proven their expertise in developing products with the features that customers demand," says Arco Snoey, TOP-electronics founder and Chief Executive Officer.
Featuring Cirrus Logic's SoundClear and FlexArray technologies, EveryWord voice capture solutions outperform existing far-field platforms and deliver a superior voice experience to consumers by capturing voice commands from three times the standard distance, around corners, in noisy and reflective environments, and without lowering playback volume. Additionally, EveryWord technology provides the ability to identify and to suppress speech from TVs or other single-point noise sources.
"TOP-electronics is well-positioned to serve a large customer base making it an ideal distribution partner fitting our overall distribution strategy," says Michael Lang, EVP at ArkX Labs. "TOP-electronics supplies a wide variety of channel partners and OEMs both traditionally and online. We are very excited to offer them our full range of products as they can provide the very best service to our customers to drive growth as we expand our product offerings throughout 2021 and beyond."
