DSP Concepts, the creator of the Audio Weaver development framework that powers sound and voice functionality for many of the world's leading consumer and automotive brands.
That it is working with Samsung on a new concept product: Samsung's "The Freestyle", a portable screen with an integrated smart speaker.
For The Freestyle, DSP Concepts collaborated with Samsung to provide voice pre-processing that ensures accurate and reliable voice command recognition. DSP Concepts used the Audio Weaver design platform to rapidly craft a custom solution for The Freestyle based on the industry leading TalkTo audio front end technology.
TalkTo combines advanced signal processing techniques to create clean audio signals for voice assistants, delivering exceptional far-field performance. Designed with a three-mic array topology, The Freestyle enables users to control the device with voice commands and interact with both Amazon Alexa and Samsung's Bixby.
During the development process for The Freestyle, Samsung used Audio Weaver to test, debug, and refine performance. Taking full advantage of the Audio Weaver workflow enabled the Samsung engineering team to accelerate the production cycle and focus on delivering innovative audio features.
Chin Beckmann, CEO and co-founder of DSP Concepts, said: "I see more and more of our customers moving towards adding voice and immersive audio features that bring connectedness and enjoyment into our home spaces.
These days, our lives include a blend of physical and virtual togetherness, and Samsung is way out in front of that trend. We are thrilled that Audio Weaver can help our customers explore better ways to bring our devices, family, and friends more closely together."
DSP Concepts is showcasing Audio Weaver, TalkTo, the TalkTogether voice communications solution, together with new solutions for consumer electronics and automotive at CES® in Las Vegas from January 5th to 7th.
