Synaptics' AudioSmart far-field voice technology has been selected by Anker for its Eufy Genie smart speakers. Genie is a new smart home hub that is fully integrated with the Amazon Alexa voice-control system. Eufy Genie is an Alexa personal assistant capable of seamless smart home service in real-world noisy conditions due to its integrated Synaptics AudioSmart solution -- blending industry-leading analog, mixed-signal and DSP technologies for high-fidelity voice and audio processing.
“Working with Synaptics afforded us the unique ability to tap into their engineering expertise to make our Eufy Genie perform as well as competing Alexa-enabled solutions,” said Steven Yang, CEO, Anker. “By utilizing Synaptics’ AudioSmart two-microphone voice solution, we maximized the far-field voice capabilities offered by Genie and streamlined its internal components, which allowed us to bring to market a powerful Alexa device with a smaller form factor and a consumer-friendly price-point.”
Synaptics’ AudioSmart solution for voice applications separates speech signals from background noise and processes only the speech signal for improved speech recognition engine accuracy. This provides a better end-user experience for artificial intelligence platforms like the Alexa Voice Service, even in noisy, real-world conditions, and/or when users are several meters away from the device.
