DSP Group Ships 100 Millionth SmartVoice SoC
October 12 2020 - 7:00AM
DSP Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:
DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless and
voice-processing chipset solutions for converged communications,
today announced it has shipped its 100 millionth SmartVoice
system-on-chip (SoC), marking a major milestone in the journey of
voice user interfaces (VUIs) from a novelty to a necessity. This
milestone is testimony to the importance DSP Group’s global
customers, including Google, Amazon, Facebook, GoPro, Logitech,
Samsung, Lenovo, and Leviton all place on performance,
cost-effectiveness, low power, and reliability when it comes to
ensuring a satisfying and enjoyable end-user VUI experience.
The voice assistant market is in a state of
accelerated adoption, with VynZ Research projecting a 30.5% CAGR
between 2020 and 2026, at which point VynZ expects it to reach $5.9
billion.1 This includes components and voice solutions for natural
language processing (NLP), speech recognition, voice recognition,
and text to speech. Reliability is considered a critical
requirement for this growing market. “It doesn’t matter if it’s for
a stove, a set-top box or a smart speaker, voice UIs have to be
bulletproof or consumers won’t trust them or use them,” said Mike
Feibus, President and Principal Analyst at FeibusTech.
“SmartVoice was launched less than five years
ago and has quickly emerged as the go-to platform for voice user
interfaces across such a broad spectrum of customers and
applications, covering home and office electronics, hearable and
wearable products, as well as for security and industrial use
cases,” said Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group. “I am extremely
grateful to our customers for choosing us as a partner for such a
critical element of the end-user product experience and I
congratulate our own hardware, software, technical support and
sales teams for their innovation and dedication toward achieving
the 100 million milestone. As voice, AI, and sensor fusion continue
to grow, I believe we are barely scratching their potential.”
At the core of DSP Group’s SmartVoice technology
are a suite of low-power, multi-core SoCs that include dedicated
artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)
accelerators. These are supported by the company’s
HDClear™ voice algorithms as well as partners’ algorithms.
Together they enable accurate and reliable Always-On voice trigger
with minimal power consumption, as well as voice command and
automatic speech recognition (ASR) for local and/or cloud-based
processing. SmartVoice is particularly adept at noise suppression,
acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), beam forming, barge-in, and other
voice processing features that enhance both near-field and
far-field performance. The AI/ML features both enhance voice
processing accuracy and adaptability, while also enabling superb
voice call and sensor fusion for multi-input sensor applications,
including sound event detection (SED).
