DSP Group and Snips Announce Technology Partnership to Bring Multi-Room Embedded Voice Recognition Architecture for Smart Hom...
February 21 2019 - 7:00AM
DSP Group®, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSPG), a leading global provider of
integrative wireless chipset solutions for converging
communications, and Snips, the European pioneer in embedded voice
recognition software for businesses, products and services,
announce their technology partnership which combines Snips’ voice
software with DSP Group’s Ultra Low Energy (ULE) system-on-chip
(SoC) and modules. This combination of software and hardware
running over the ULE network extend the reach of natural
voice-controlled edge devices.
Earlier this year, Snips launched its new enterprise-focused
product suite, spanning Commands, Flows and Satellite, to become
the first voice software vendor to provide solutions that range
from voice commands that run on microcontroller based hardware to
natural spoken language understanding (NLU) that runs on
microprocessor based hardware.
Together DSP Group and Snips allow OEMs to place satellite node
devices that have the ability to recognize spoken language and
stream it to any room in the home or office with a central hub
leveraging. DSP Group’s ULE/DECT technology providing long
distance (up to 500 meters) and secure network connections while
Snips’ software performs natural language processing, effectively
extending the reach of local voice control in an offline and
private environment. Additionally, ULE/DECT’s ability to overcome
outside interference, even in dense and noisy environments, makes
it a robust solution for transmitting voice, especially when
compared to the noisy and crowded 2.4 GHz frequency band used for
WiFi and Bluetooth communications. Snips Satellite does not require
any internet connectivity, meaning it can run on-device and offline
without any personal data filtering out of the room.
“We are excited to announce our partnership with Snips. This
partnership underpins our promise and commitment of providing
innovative, robust solutions to our OEM and service provider
partners that empower edge processing leveraging our ULE and
SmartVoice offering. Together, DSP Group and Snips are able to
provide a unique embedded offering that has the potential to
revolutionize the way people will interact with their devices,”
said Tali Chen, Chief Marketing Officer at, DSP Group. “This
partnership is a testament of the unique benefits of ULE,
specifically its support of natural two-way voice also in local
environments.”
“Snips and DSP Group share a vision for the future of embedded
voice recognition across multiple verticals. Edge
technologies play an important role as the adoption of voice
recognition technologies increase. By combining our voice
recognition software, running on-device and offline, together we
give OEMs a new possibility to create a local grid of
mutually-aware devices, lowering the BoM per device and giving
opportunities to diversify their product offerings,” said Yann
Lechelle, Chief Operations Officer at Snips. “This new voice
architecture will be applicable in smart home and smart building
verticals where performance, cost effectiveness and data privacy
play an important role for end consumers.”
