XMOS announces XVF3000 voice processor for integrated far-field voice capture and VocalFusion Speaker development kit

XVF3000 devices and development kits target voice-enabled speakers

XMOS Ltd announces the launch of the XVF3000 family of voice processors, which provide class-leading far-field voice capture using arrays of MEMS microphones. With optional support for Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree™ technology, the industry’s leading voice-trigger solution, the XVF3000 family provides the most flexible and cost effective always-on voice interface in a single device.

XMOS also announces the availability of the VocalFusion™ Speaker development kit (XK VF3100 C43), which includes an XVF3000 processor card and a 4-mic circular microphone array. This kit provides a quick way to start developing far-field voice capture applications.

XVF3000 devices include speech enhancement algorithms that include an adaptive beamformer, which uses signals from four microphones to track a talker as they move, coupled with high performance full-duplex, acoustic echo cancellation. XVF3000 devices can be easily integrated with an applications processor or host PC via either USB for data and control or a combination of I²S and I²C. Developers can quickly add custom voice and audio processing using the XMOS free development tools.

XVF3000 devices are available immediately from XMOS, and the VocalFusion™ Speaker Development Kit is already available.
