DSP Concepts, Inc., the leading embedded software provider for voice and playback audio processing, announced that it has delivered the industry’s most advanced voice user interface and audio playback technology, resulting in Braun Audio shipping the industry’s first multichannel product with hands-free, far-field voice control for Google Assistant.
Voice is being rapidly adopted as the primary human interface technology, enabling common consumer audio devices to become “smart,” as they now have a low-cost way of providing the clearest voice signal to voice recognition services such as Google Assistant. What has been missing is the capability to recognize voice inputs from a distance (far-field), even when the speakers are turned up to full volume. DSP Concepts’ TalkTo™ voice capture technology, built on its Audio Weaver platform, offers the most advanced voice extraction capability powering the new wave of smart audio products.
To deliver cutting edge audio features on Braun Audio’s line of hi-fi smart speakers, DSP Concepts closely collaborated with StreamUnlimited, Pure, and renowned audio engineer Karl-Heinz Fink and his team. DSP Concepts CEO, Chin Beckmann highlighted, “This collaboration reinforces the value of the Audio Weaver platform and how proliferation of our platform is resulting in customers being able to get to market faster with best-in-class audio products.” Karl-Heinz Fink, who actively develops on Audio Weaver, stated, “Historically, audio engineers have wasted precious time jumping through hoops to get their ideas implemented. Now, thanks to Audio Weaver, we can focus on sound quality and ultimately develop a superior audio experience in significantly less time.”
