BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CEVA, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of signal processing platforms
and artificial intelligence processors for smarter, connected
devices, today announced the availability of the Nuance AI-powered
wake-up and voice activation technology suite on the CEVA-TeakLite
family of DSPs. Nuance's voice activation can be easily integrated
into any embedded system design, from always-listening smartphones
and IoT devices to smart home personal assistants, allowing users
to speak to these devices without pressing a button to activate the
assistant. Tier-1 smartphone OEMs are already integrating this
solution, which will be debuted in Spring 2018.
"At Nuance, we're at the leading edge of the conversational AI
revolution, making it possible for people and machines to
communicate naturally and seamlessly," said Kenneth Harper, vice president of emerging
solutions at Nuance. "When it comes to low-power embedded systems,
the CEVA-TeakLite DSPs offer incredibly low standby power
consumption for our market-leading voice activation technology, and
also the processing power to run additional voice algorithms for
further differentiation."
"The combination of our ultra-low-power audio/voice DSP and
Nuance's optimized voice activation technology makes for a highly
efficient, always-on solution for the emerging voice-enabled
market," said Moshe Sheier, director
of strategic marketing at CEVA. "The benefits of voice-enabled
smart devices are undoubted, and Nuance voice activation technology
combined with CEVA-TeakLite is ideal for power-sensitive
battery-operated devices such as smartphones, headsets and the
IoT."
