Picture your smart assistant at home: you say a command, and it recognizes your voice, processes what you’re saying and responds. This is an example of a multi-sensor device that requires signal processing. Designers of compelling voice communication products like this – as well as the semiconductor solutions that enable these products – are confronted with the challenges of ensuring high performance, while efficiently utilizing system resources.

Intelligibility suffers without preprocessing software. This means that the talker will not be heard or understood by the person on another end of the call or the voice-controlled speaker. The preprocessing software must preserve the voice signal with efficient usage of computational resources – MIPS and memory. Additionally, these designers need intuitive configuration and tuning tools that provide a diagnostic and development environment for rapid product development. So, where do you start, and how do you achieve all of this?
