Vienna, Austria – TIGAL launched today the VoiceGP family of products under its VeeaR brand of voice and speech recognition products. The VoiceGP family includes all the hardware and software required for easy and cost effective development and implementation of speech synthesis and multi-language speaker independent and speaker dependent speech recognition capabilities to virtually any application. The product family consists of the VoiceGP Module and two Development Kits with bundled Development Software.
"As speech recognition interfaces are becoming increasingly popular and accurate in applications such as mobile phones and toys, more and more companies and developers are considering the implementation of speech recognition interfaces in their products," said Tiziano Galizia, Managing Director of TIGAL. "We are very pleased to be able to offer easy to use yet professional-level development tools based on leading technologies from Sensory Inc. at affordable prices to everyone."
The VoiceGP Module is based on Sensory's RSC-4128 mixed signal processor. Its small size of 42mm x 72mm and two 28-pin connectors with 2.54mm pin spacing make it breadboard friendly and suitable for prototype boards. The module is capable of running the latest Sensory FluentChipTM core technology libraries which enable speaker dependent recognition in any language, speaker independent recognition (US/UK English, German, French, Italian, Spanish (Latin American), Japanese and Korean), Speech, DTFM Synthesis, Speaker Verification, and Record and Play. The module has 512KB of Code/Const Flash, 512KB of Serial Data Flash, 128KB External RAM, and enables full access to the I/O pins of the RSC-4X processor. It also features an expansion bus that allows fast SPI interface to MMC cards, 5 dedicated chip select outputs, 2 memory enable outputs and an 8-bit wide read-write memory bus.
The VoiceGP Development Kit includes the VoiceGP module and a Development Board that can be powered via USB, batteries or an external power supply. It also has an on-board USB / Serial adapter and programmer, on-board microphone, selectable audio output (PWM or DAC with on-board amplifier), 4 push-button inputs and 4 LED outputs for demos and fast prototypes, and an SD/SDHC/MMC compatible socket for extended storage. The bundled development software consists of an Integrated Development Environment, a tool chain with VeeSee C language code translator, VeeSee integrated C pre-processor, resource compiler and linker and VeeLoader code downloader / flash programmer. Sensory’s FluentChipTM Technology Library (build tools and documentation) and Sensory’s QuickSynthesis4TM software for speech and audio compression are also included. The kit is also optionally available with a user license for Sensory’s Quick T2SITM software that allows quick development of Speaker Independent vocabularies from text-based input in multiple languages.
The VoiceGP Development Kits are shipped with the VoiceGP Module, VoiceGP DevBoard, Software CD and a USB Cable. The VoiceGP Module is also available separately. All products are available directly from TIGAL or your local distributor. The VoiceGP DK, VoiceGP DK-T2SI and VoiceGP Module are priced at € 149, € 299 and € 45 Euro respectively, with discounts available at higher volumes.
