Geneva, Switzerland; Santa Clara, California –
June 9, 2022
– STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, and Sensory
Inc., a leading provider of embedded
speech recognition technology and an ST Authorized Partner, have
announced a collaboration that will enable the STM32
microcontroller (MCU) user community to develop and prototype
intuitive voice-based user interfaces for a wide range of smart
embedded products.
The joint efforts pair ST’s STM32 hardware and software with
Sensory’s voice-control technologies, including the new VoiceHub
online portal that supports seamless creation of embedded
speech-recognition models using custom wake words, voice-control
command sets, and large natural-language grammars in almost twenty
languages and dialects.
The solution is based on an STM32Cube software extension package
and runs on a high-performance STM32H7 MCU, taking advantage of its
architecture, internal Flash, SRAM, and high CPU speed. This
combination plays a key role in increasing voice-control accuracy
and minimizing command-recognition time. Hosting the voice
application and speech models in the generous on-chip memory of the
high-performance STM32 MCUs further boosts the system integration
and ease of use, as well as lowers cost of ownership.
“This collaboration sets to jump-start the development of
embedded-voice user interfaces, adding friction-free command
control and custom wake word to any device, from wearables to
smart-home appliances,” said Ricardo De Sa Earp, Executive Vice
President, General-Purpose Microcontroller Sub-Group Vice
President, STMicroelectronics. “The unique combination of ST and
Sensory technologies will enable the STM32 user community to deploy
‘Voice AI on the edge’ without any programming, data-science, or
machine-learning expertise, for free in prototypes and with
favorable licensing terms in production.”
“Sensory designed our VoiceHub so developers could quickly and
painlessly create custom speech-recognition models. However, after
creating a custom model, integrating the model onto hardware, and
moving to licensing terms were the next hurdles that needed to be
cleared,” said Todd Mozer, CEO, Sensory. “This world-class
collaboration with ST creates a complete software, hardware, and
licensing package for embedded speech recognition across the STM32
family and makes adding Voice UIs, simple.”
