Summary of TrulyHandsfree SDK Improvements:
-- SDK supports fixed triggers, user enrolled triggers and commands -
phrase spotting technology makes TrulyHandsfree highly robust to noise
-- Speech trigger and commands can be added to an application with less
than 20 lines of code
-- Tasks' details are managed with streamlined modular speech recognition
functions
-- Documentation for TrulyHandsfree 5.0 is easier to digest
-- All speech recognition models and task configurations are passed as one
file, further simplify the API
-- Available JAVA API for Android - seamless integration with Android
Studio (no JNI programming needed)
"Integrating always-on, always-listening speech triggers and speech command functionality into the user experience of software and apps used to require a deep understanding of how speech technologies work. With Sensory's latest TrulyHandsfree SDK, we've made it simple for developers to integrate these must-have UX technologies into their products," said Jacques de Villiers, Engineer, Technology Deployment at Sensory. "We've worked closely with our partners to understand what they wanted and completely redesigned our SDK to incorporate dataflow and inversion-of-control techniques to greatly reduce the overhead and complexity of designing TrulyHandsfree technology into applications."
Sensory's TrulyHandsfree trigger technology has quickly become the most widely adopted keyword voice wakeup technology in the speech industry, with more platforms supported than any other voice recognition technology. Over a billion products utilizing TrulyHandsfree have shipped over the past several years from the world's largest CE manufacturers. The TrulyHandsfree trigger is an extremely noise robust, low power, and highly accurate, embedded phrase recognition technology that listens for a special "wake up" phrase, yet ignores other conversations. TrulyHandsfree can be utilized a variety of different ways, supporting an assortment of wakeup voice triggers including fixed triggers, user-enrolled fixed triggers, user-defined triggers and speaker verification passphrases. TrulyHandsfree also supports high accuracy noise immune command sets and works seamlessly with the applications processors of devices and cloud-based speech recognition technologies, enabling seamless trigger-to-search or trigger-to-cloud speech recognition functionality. The technology can also be combined with Sensory's TrulySecure speaker verification security technology, allowing for trigger-to-speaker-verification applications. TrulyHandsfree runs embedded on device so no cloud connection is necessary, making it secure from shared personal data being stolen from the cloud.
Sensory's TrulyHandsfree SDK currently supports the following languages: US English, UK English, Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. The TrulyHandsfree SDK is available for Android, iOS, Linux, QNX and Windows. Additionally, ultra-low-power deeply embedded ports of TrulyHandsfree are available for leading DSP/MCU IP cores from ARM, Cadence, CEVA, NXP CoolFlux, Synopsys and Verisilicon, as well as for integrated circuits from Audience, Avnera, Cirrus Logic, Conexant, DSPG, Fortemedia, Intel, InvenSense, NXP, Qualcomm, QuickLogic, Realtek, STMicroelectronics, TI and Yamaha.
