Use Case:
Voice Recognition for Smart Whiteboards
Description
Voice-enabled Smart Whiteboard classroom for live and on-line collaboration, voice activated access to tools, wireless screen sharing and a web browser
Challenges
- Obstructed voice path
- Stationary (architectural columns), Mobile (including people) and other movable obstructions in voice path
- Distance
- Typical distances for meetings could be 1 to 9 meters
- Noise suppression
- Constant – HVAC system, synchronized clock bell systems, etc.
- Variable – other persons’ speech, TV speech audio playback, and other audible devices, etc.
- Development
- Challenging cost targets
- Aggressive schedule
- Avoid a complete board spin
- Need to support multiple voice platforms
Solution Proposed
- ArkX Technology
- Works extremely well even in obstructed voice path
- Captures voice from up to 9 meters in very noisy environments
- Features solder-on “module” allowing easy integration onto existing board
- Utilizes 12 AEC’s to ID, classify and suppress speech originating from TV, audio devices and other extraneous environmental noises
- Amazon pre-qualified speeds time to market and reduces development risks
- Supports Google, Amazon, Baidu and other platforms
