Ambiq Micro, DSP Concepts and Sensory Join Forces to Bring Always-On Voice Control to Portable, Battery-Operated Devices

Ambiq Micro, the pioneer in ultra-low power solutions, announced a partnership with DSP Concepts, a global developer of embedded digital signal processing audio solutions and specialist in voice UI technologies, and Sensory, the leading provider of embedded artificial intelligence (AI) and speech recognition technologies. The collaboration aims to provide extremely power-efficient, always-listening voice control on battery-operated, intelligent devices without sacrificing quality of experience.

The new ST-AudioWeaver free development tool from STMicroelectronics streamlines and simplifies development of embedded audio applications for richer user interfaces in smart devices using 32-bit ARM Cortex-M based STM32 microcontrollers. Developed in cooperation with DSP Concepts, creator of the Audio Weaver design suite, the tool contains library of 160 audio algorithms, with GUI for configuring and fine-tuning.

DSP Concepts has announced multicore support for its Audio Weaver modular programming software. Audio Weaver can now operate in heterogeneous SoC (System on a Chip) devices that employ multiple cores of different types. The new capability extends Audio Weaver’s user-friendly programming environment into more applications, including complex signal processing chains in automotive environments.
