Always-On Keyword Recognition


Voice interfaces are expected to be instant, reliable and power-efficient. Our keyword spotting solution delivers high-accuracy, always-listening voice activation on a low-power microcontroller (MCU), without requiring cloud connectivity or external accelerators.  This solution is optimized for embedded systems that demand long battery life, fast response times and simple integration.

Designed to Solve Real-World Problems


Always-On, Low Power

Our keyword spotting solution features continuous listening without draining power budgets, enabling long battery life in energy-constrained systems.

Private, Instant Response

On-device inference keeps audio data local while eliminating network latency for fast, reliable interaction.

Robust in Real-World Noise

Our solution provides reliable keyword detection even in noisy environments with background interference and acoustic variability.

Easy Customization

Customizable wake and command words with a streamlined workflow that simplifies development and integration.

Production-Ready Implementation

Our keyword spotting solution is delivered as a turnkey firmware solution that runs entirely on a low-power MCU, eliminating the need to build or train models from scratch. Well-defined interfaces and tooling simplify integration into existing applications, enabling faster evaluation and deployment.

Key Advantages


Software Development Flow


The keyword spotting model is optimized by leveraging datasets and tuning techniques tailored for embedded, low-power devices. This proprietary approach enables consistent performance, efficient resource utilization and predictable behavior across supported platforms.

Intelligent Human-Machine Interfaces at the Edge

Embedded Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how people interact with machines, enabling systems to perceive user intent and respond naturally in real time. By processing inputs such as voice directly at the edge, intelligent Human-Machine Interface (HMI) applications improve usability, responsiveness and safety across industrial, commercial and consumer systems. These on-device interfaces reduce latency, preserve privacy and eliminate reliance on cloud connectivity, delivering more reliable and intuitive human-machine interaction.
