Synaptics AudioSmart Featured on Anker’s New Eufy Genie Alexa-Enabled Smart Speakers
August 15 2017 - 8:00AM
Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ:SYNA), the leading developer of
human interface solutions, today announced its AudioSmart®
far-field voice technology has been selected by Anker for its
innovative Eufy Genie smart speakers. Genie is an exciting new
smart home hub that is fully integrated with the Amazon Alexa
voice-control system. Eufy Genie stands ready as a tireless Alexa
personal assistant capable of seamless smart home service in
real-world noisy conditions due to its integrated Synaptics®
AudioSmart solution -- blending industry-leading analog,
mixed-signal and DSP technologies for high-fidelity voice and audio
processing.
“Working with Synaptics afforded us the unique ability to tap
into their engineering expertise to make our Eufy Genie perform as
well as competing Alexa-enabled solutions,” said Steven Yang, CEO,
Anker. “By utilizing Synaptics’ AudioSmart two-microphone voice
solution, we maximized the far-field voice capabilities offered by
Genie and streamlined its internal components, which allowed us to
bring to market a powerful Alexa device with a smaller form factor
and a consumer-friendly price-point.”
Synaptics’ AudioSmart solution for voice applications separates
speech signals from background noise and processes only the speech
signal for improved speech recognition engine accuracy. This
provides a better end-user experience for artificial intelligence
platforms like the Alexa Voice Service, even in noisy, real-world
conditions, and/or when users are several meters away from the
device.
Synaptics’ AudioSmart technology was developed to revolutionize
how consumer electronics manufacturers design voice-enabled
products, allowing them a cost effective and fast time-to-market
advantage. Our extensive systems expertise enables system designers
to bring new applications to market that boast exceptional voice
interface performance and far-field capabilities, as well as
excellent audio playback quality. This announcement builds upon
other recent third-party Alexa-enabled product announcements
featuring AudioSmart voice input processors, and further solidifies
Synaptics as the de facto standard for premium-quality voice
interface solutions for the rapidly growing voice-enabled consumer
IoT market.
“The Eufy Genie is a very exciting entry to the market and we
were thrilled to be able to help Anker in delivering benchmark
far-field performance in a compact form factor without a complex
multi-microphone array,” said Saleel Awsare, vice president and
general manager, Audio and Imaging Business, Synaptics. “With our
advanced AudioSmart processing technologies and just two
microphones, the Eufy Genie can easily and clearly hear user
requests coming from anywhere in the room, even when the device is
playing music.”
