Vesper, DSP Group, Inc.and Sensory, Inc. will demonstrate a turnkey development platform that boasts the lowest overall power consumption for far-field always-listening voice interfaces. This platform is the first to achieve overall power consumption low enough to enable battery-powered always-listening far-field systems. The new development platform -- which the companies will demonstrate at CES 2017 for the first time -- integrates Vesper's VM1010 wake-on-sound piezoelectric MEMS microphone with DSP Group's DBMD4, an ultra-low-power, always-on voice and audio processor based on Sensory's Truly Handsfree voice control embedded algorithms. The platform gives developers the ability to initiate voice processing through Sensory's wake-up word technology, which ensures that only a specific trigger word activates the device.
