Vienna, Austria – April, 2010 – TIGAL launched today the VoiceGP family of
products under its VeeaR brand of voice and speech recognition products.
The VoiceGP family includes all the hardware and software required for
easy and cost effective development and implementation of speech synthesis
and multi-language speaker independent and speaker dependent speech
recognition capabilities to virtually any application. The product family
consists of the VoiceGP Module and two Development Kits with bundled
Development Software.
The VoiceGP Module is based on Sensory’s RSC-4128 mixed signal processor.
Its small size of 42mm x 72mm and two 28-pin connectors with 2.54mm pin
spacing make it breadboard friendly and suitable for prototype boards. The
module is capable of running the latest Sensory FluentChipTM core
technology libraries which enable speaker dependent recognition in any
language, speaker independent recognition (US/UK English, German, French,
Italian, Spanish (Latin American), Japanese and Korean), Speech, DTFM
Synthesis, Speaker Verification, and Record and Play. The module has 512KB
of Code/Const Flash, 512KB of Serial Data Flash, 128KB External RAM, and
enables full access to the I/O pins of the RSC-4X processor. It also
features an expansion bus that allows fast SPI interface to MMC cards, 5
dedicated chip select outputs, 2 memory enable outputs and an 8-bit wide
read-write memory bus.
The VoiceGP Development Kit includes the VoiceGP module and a Development
Board that can be powered via USB, batteries or an external power supply.
It also has an on-board USB / Serial adapter and programmer, on-board
microphone, selectable audio output (PWM or DAC with on-board amplifier),
4 push-button inputs and 4 LED outputs for demos and fast prototypes, and
an SD/SDHC/MMC compatible socket for extended storage. The bundled
development software consists of an Integrated Development Environment, a
tool chain with VeeSee C language code translator, VeeSee integrated C
pre-processor, resource compiler and linker and VeeLoader code downloader
/ flash programmer. Sensory’s FluentChipTM Technology Library (build tools
and documentation) and Sensory’s QuickSynthesis4TM software for speech and
audio compression are also included. The kit is also optionally available
with a user license for Sensory’s Quick T2SITM software that allows quick
development of Speaker Independent vocabularies from text-based input in
multiple languages.
“As speech recognition interfaces are becoming increasingly popular and
accurate in applications such as mobile phones and toys, more and more
companies and developers are considering the implementation of speech
recognition interfaces in their products. We are very pleased to be able
to offer easy to use yet professional-level development tools based on
leading technologies from Sensory Inc. at affordable prices to everyone.“
