The Interactive Speech™ Product Line
Sensory’s
Interactive Speech™
product line makes consumer electronics more intelligent by enabling them to talk, hear,
move and interact with the external world using naturally sounding spoken commands-all without training and even in noisy
environments! Sensory offers both chip and software solutions that offer advanced speech recognition with hands-free
functionality, biometric speaker verification, text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, high quality stereo music and sound effects,
robotics and LCD controls, and interactive sensing capabilities. These technologies are designed for integration into cost-
sensitive consumer electronic applications such as home appliances, smart toys, music players and personal communication
devices. The hardware line includes the NLP-5x Natural Language Processor, the RSC-4x family of mixed signal processors,
and the SC-691 music and speech synthesis slave processor. Embedded software options include the FluentSoft™
Recognizer, which offers speech recognition technologies for non-Sensory processors and DSPs. Sensory’s BlueGenie™
Voice Interface, the first speech recognition, TTS and synthesis option for
BlueTooth®
enabled devices, offers hands-free
control of headsets, music players and other
BlueTooth®
devices.
NLP-5x Natural Language Processor and Development Tools
The NLP-5x features a high-performance 80MHz 16-bit DSP with on-chip ADC, hi-fidelity stereo DAC, microphone
preamplifiers, RAM, OTP code and constant memory, and many kinds of peripheral interfaces and control blocks. With
Sensory’s FluentChip™ 5 firmware, it provides a single chip solution capable of accurate speech recognition; text-to-speech
(TTS) synthesis with morphing; compressed speech; high fidelity music; motor and LCD control; and man-machine
interfaces (MMI) with interactive sensors. Sensory offers a complete suite of evaluation and development tools that include
the ability to create complex grammars with a natural language interface in multiple languages.
RSC-4x Family of Microcontrollers and Developer Tools
The RSC-4x (
Recognition, Synthesis and Control
) product family contains low-cost 8-bit speech-optimized
microcontrollers that are fully integrated and include A/D, pre-amplifier, D/A, RAM, and ROM circuitry. With Sensory’s
FluentChip™ firmware, the RSC family offers speech recognition, speaker verification, speech and music synthesis, voice
recording and playback, and an entire suite of interactive robotic and sonic networking technologies. The family is supported
by a complete suite of evaluation and development toolkits that include the ability to quickly create speaker independent
recognition sets in many languages.
SC6 Slave Processor and Tools
The SC-691 is a standard slave synthesizer that accepts compressed speech data from other microprocessors or
microcontrollers and converts it to speech. The chip operates up to 12.32 MIPS, and provides high-quality, low data-rate
speech compression and MIDI music synthesis, with unlimited speech duration using external memory. Sensory offers
hardware and software tools for analyzing speech files, editing speech data and generating coded speech.
FluentSoft™ Recognizer
The FluentSoft™ Recognizer
is the engine powering the FluentSoft
™
SDK. It provides a noise-robust, large-vocabulary,
speaker-independent solution with continuous digit recognition and word-spotting capabilities. This small-footprint software
recognizes thousands of words and runs on non-Sensory processors including Intel XScale, TI OMAP, and ARM9, and
supports operating systems such as MS Windows, Linux, and Symbian.
BlueGenie™ Voice Interface
The BlueGenie Voice Interface software suite runs on CSR’s BC-5 MM Kalimba DSP, and enables manufacturers of
Bluetooth
products to integrate full voice control and synthetic speech output without the need for visual displays or complex
user interfacing. It frees designers to pack functionality onto small form factor
Bluetooth
devices and answers consumer
demand for a “Truly Hands-Free” experience.
