Digi-Key Electronics, which offers the world’s largest selection of electronic components in stock for immediate shipment, announced that it has secured a global distribution partnership with ArkX Laboratories to offer their Advanced Far-field Voice Capture AFE module and development kit for voice-enabled IoT products.
The Advanced Far-field Voice Capture AFE module and development kit outperforms other existing far-field solutions and delivers a far-superior voice experience to consumers by capturing voice commands from three times (3x) the standard distance, around corners, noisy and reflective environments, and without lowering playback volume. Additionally, EveryWord™ technology provides the unique ability to identify and suppress speech from TV or other single-point noise sources.
Complete reference design that is production ready with NXP i.MX 8 host processor technology and Cirrus Logic’s SoundClearFlexArray™
“ArkX’s advanced far-field products enable engineers and developers to bring a powerful voice experience to their products,” said David Stein, vice president of global supplier management for Digi-Key. “Digi-Key is proud to offer these cutting-edge solutions to our growing global customer base.”
The voice capture module can be used in several IoT applications as a human to machine interface. EveryWord’s advanced technology also offers superior performance for Fortune 1000 companies, OEMs, and start-ups who want to bring their voice-enabled smart products and devices to market while mitigating risk, reducing development costs, and accelerating their time-to-market.
