Audience Launches First Generation of Its Advanced Voice Software
Audience, a provider of advanced voice, multisensory processing, and natural user experience technology for consumer devices, has released Audience S1.0, its first advanced voice software product.
The first generation of Audience's advanced voice (AVS) software, targeted at x86 PCs, tablets, and all-in-ones, delivers improved VoIP capability with intelligent key click removal, improved speech recognition performance, and new features like 360° Voice. Audience S1.0 expands the company's software product portfolio, joining the MotionQ library software platform (formerly FreeMotion library from Sensor Platforms).
The first generation of Audience S1.0 enables voice over IP (VoIP) calling, voice search, voice commands, and other voice-controlled applications that can run on x86 PCs, tablets, and all-in-ones. It also delivers Super Wideband noise suppression, which can enable ultra-clear VoIP calls in nearly any environment. In addition, acoustic echo cancelation and de-reverberation can drastically reduce double-talk and echo effects in larger, resonant spaces.
Audience S1.0 features intelligent key-click removal, suppressing the keystroke noise during both quiet pauses and speech. The new software also includes Audience's 360°Voice, which allows users to conduct conference calls with positional robustness that gives flexibility in microphone placement.
Audience S1.0 is based on the company's fourth-generation Advanced Voice technology and third-generation automatic speech recognition (ASR) assist technology. Audience S1.0 software is currently being evaluated by major PC manufacturers for upcoming devices.
"Today, Audience introduced its first Advanced Voice software product, marking an important stage in the evolution of the company," said Peter Santos, president and CEO of Audience, in a statement. "We're excited to see our vision for Advanced Voice coming to fruition and we expect to continue to expand our software portfolio across other platforms and market segments."
