Smart voice UI solution enables voice user interfaces for touchless applications

Mouser now stocks the SLN-SVUI-IOT EdgeReady Smart Voice UI Solution from NXP Semiconductors. Based on the RT106V crossover MCU with integrated VIT, the SLN-SVUI-IOT EdgeReady solution enables designers to add a voice user interface for touchless applications. The turnkey EdgeReady solution minimises risk, time to market, and developer effort for original equipment manufacturers, allowing them to easily add voice to smart home devices, IoT solutions, and touchless industrial applications such as smart lighting and elevators.

The solution features a production-ready hardware design with fully integrated software, allowing rapid out-of-the-box evaluation and proof of concept development. Part of NXP's EdgeVerse edge computing platform, the solution incorporates a text input tool to create speech models of custom commands and wake words with no non-recurring engineering. The device's fair-field audio front-end automatic speech recognition supports 360° far-field voice 65dB noise at 3m or less distances. The solution also provides advanced multimedia for an enhanced HMI and GUI, including a 2D graphics acceleration engine, an LCD display controller, and three I2S digital microphones for high-performance, multi-channel audio. The smart voice UI solution offers extensive external memory interface options, including eMMC, NAND, QuadSPI NOR Flash, and parallel NOR Flash. This EdgeReady solution performs all voice recognition processing completely offline, helping to eradicate engineer concerns about employing the cloud because of privacy and latency issues.

The device is part of NXP's series of MCU-based Turnkey IoT Solutions. The turnkey IoT solutions leverage its i.MX RT Crossover Processors to quickly and efficiently implement facial recognition and voice control into application designs. The MCU-based IoT solutions deliver fast response times with low latency to support applications, including industrial automation, smart appliances, room air conditioners, and POS terminals.
