Voice kit delivers end-to-end voice solution

Mouser now stocks the VK-RA8M1 voice kit for RA8M1 from Renesas Electronics. With the voice kit, developers can construct systems with a simple voice command interface without extensive coding experience, in-house expertise, or a network connection. The kit addresses the need for voice recognition in home automation, industrial automation, consumer electronics, healthcare applications, and more.

The voice kit provides a scalable, easy-to-use hardware platform for Voice User Interface (VUI) solutions based on the RA8M1 family of 32-bit MCU. The voice kit supports real-time control and multi-language commands, essential for applications such as smart speakers. Multiple analog and digital microphones provide highly accurate voice recognition with improved sound capture and decreased noise. The voice kit can perform all voice recognition processes offline, mitigating engineers' concerns about privacy and latency associated with utilising the cloud.

The voice kit includes cloud-based NLU development tools from Renesas-ready ecosystem partner Cyberon. The powerful RA8M1 MCU permits users to build an improved working solution to recognise and execute voice commands, while the NLU model supports the development of complete end-to-end AI and ML voice solutions. The kit supports over 44 languages and incorporates a voice anti-spoofing application example.
