Sparse Artificial Intelligence MCU from Femtosense and ABOV Semiconductor Delivers AI-Based Voice Processing On-Device

Femtosense, in partnership with ABOV Semiconductor in South Korea, has launched the AI-ADAM-100, an artificial intelligence microcontroller unit (AI MCU) built on sparse AI technology to enable on-device AI features such as voice-based control in home appliances and other products. According to the Silicon Valley startup, the new AI-ADAM-100 AI MCU is a low-power, low-cost option for on-device language processing and voice-cleanup capabilities.

The elusive dream of an hearable device that provides real time translation between any language continues to get closer due to consistent global R&D efforts. Timekettle, a company from Shenzhen, China, is approaching that goal in a determined way, with actual products and solutions that are available in the market. Now the company announced the release of its latest software upgrade with AI Semantic Segmentation, which Timekettle believes sets a new standard in real-time language translation using earbuds.

Ambiq introduced the Neural Network Speech Enhancer (NNSE), the latest addition to its neuralSPOT's Model Zoo - a highly optimized AI model that effectively removes background noise from speech on the device in real-time, allowing clean speech capture in noisy environments. As with all Ambiq Model Zoo components, NNSE includes scripts and tools to help developers add speech de-noising capabilities to their applications.

Jünger Audio announced a new Voice Processor designed to make life easier for engineers working in radio, TV and ADR facilities. Analyzing incoming audio and comparing its spectrum with individually predetermined voice 'fingerprints’, the D*AP4 VAP Voice Processor is able to automatically apply dynamic EQ corrections and balance spectral differences in real-time.

Lawo’s cost-efficient and flexible Commentary Unit (LCU) was developed in close cooperation with Host Broadcast Services (HBS), a Swiss company specializing in producing multilateral video and audio feeds for TV and radio from world-class international sports events. The fully digital …
