August 31 2018 - 3:01AM
IFA 2018 - Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the leading
developer of human interface solutions, today announced its
AudioSmart® far-field voice (FFV) technology has been designed into
Alexa built-in televisions from TCL Corporation. TCL’s new TVs with
integrated AudioSmart FFV digital signal processors (DSPs) provide
its customers with a premium user experience and the ability to
control the television with their voice through Amazon Alexa. The
new TCL TVs with Alexa and AudioSmart are being showcased this week
at IFA 2018.
“The new TCL televisions featuring Amazon Alexa and Synaptics’
AudioSmart technologies are designed with the same objective in
mind: to leverage innovation to enhance how people experience the
products we make,” said Bryan Huang, director of Product Center at
TCL. “Adding far-field voice recognition to our TV lineup provides
consumers with a more natural and convenient viewing
experience.”
“TCL is demonstrating once again it’s on the cutting-edge of
consumer electronics by designing AudioSmart technology into its
new line of televisions,” said Saleel Awsare, corporate vice
president and general manager, Audio and Imaging Business at
Synaptics. “Thanks to its unmatched voice-command accuracy and
enhanced features, AudioSmart enjoys wide-ranging applicability
throughout the smart home and beyond.”
Key AudioSmart FFV Features:
- Voice Barge-in: Enabled by full-duplex
acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), the voice DSP can detect the
wake-word even when playing loud movies
- Smart Source Pickup: Detects the user's voice
and cancels out noise from all directions around the device
(omnidirectionally), even if noise sources are coming from the same
direction as the user
- Energy Efficient Voice Functionality: Enabled
by the low-power Synaptics DSP, the TCL televisions meet all energy
requirements for standby mode while still allowing use of natural
voice at any time to turn the TV on and off
AudioSmart separates speech signals from background noises and
processes only the human speech, providing superior recognition
accuracy. AudioSmart delivers an exceptional end-user experience
for all major Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) services. Its
barge-in technology is enabled by full-duplex acoustic echo
cancellation that detects a device’s “wake-word” and allows it to
hear user requests even when other sounds, such as television or
music playing, are present.
IFA 2018: TCL will demonstrate the new line of
Alexa built-in TVs with AudioSmart technology at this week’s IFA
consumer-electronics tradeshow in Berlin, Germany, Hall 21, Booth
102.
