SANTA CLARA, Calif. Jan 31, 2020

Fortemedia today announced its latest voice processing technology, Always-on Acoustic Awareness, AoAA, enabling devices with always-listening keyword spotting functions under ultra-lower power consumption. Voice triggering recently has gained lots of attention with the increase interest in voice technology from smartphone, smart speaker to personal hearing devices. However, how to achieve accurate voice trigger rate given limited power consumption is always the key to product success. Eyeing on this need, Fortemedia has developed and launched its always-on detection of designated keywords on edge devices.

AoAA can achieve excellent wake-up accuracy in FAR (False Acceptance Rate) and FRR (False Rejection Rate) under ultra-low power consumption with independent platforms using in-house multiple neural network algorithms. Integrated into Fortemedia’s Voice Interface Device iM501, the always-listening power consumption can be further reduced down to 100uA. Fortemedia’s relentless research in voice technology has won customers’ trust on this AoAA technology and new design-win projects by customers. Along with Fortemedia’s best-in-class ForteVoice, a total voice processing solution can be easily implemented into variety of open DSP and AP platforms.
