Ryoyo Voice Recognition System

This is a standalone voice recognition system based on a voice recognition IC produced by our supplier Silan. 

 

Special features:

  • 1 mic input (supports analog mic and I2C digital mic)
  • Noise cancellation, voice recognition, and audio feedback in a single chip

 

Depending on the model, the system can handle anywhere between 10 and 120 commands.

Sample Applications:

The Ryoyo Voice Recognition System is already being used in air conditioning units, lamps, televisions, and other household electronics.

 


The Technology

Voice recognition is an indirect type of human-machine interface.

 

Steps of voice recognition:

1. A voice is entered into the system (through a microphone)

2. The voice data is processed (e.g., it’s translated into text, or keywords are recognized)

In some cases, there is a third step:

3. Output (e.g., of a written message, a document, or a voice command through a speaker)

 

Usually, there are two types of voice recognition systems, each with its own pro’s and con’s:

Cloud-based voice recognition

 

PROs:

  • User data can be stored
  • Easy to update

 

CONs:

  • They need a Wi-Fi or BLE or LTE module and corresponding wireless environment 
  • Security concerns

Standalone voice recognition

PROs:

  • Simple build, no initial setup necessary
  • Very short response time (under 0.5 sec)


CONs:

  • System cannot easily be updated
  • Voice recognition engine has to be developed for each single product

Ryoyo Voice Recognition System

 

The Ryoyo Voice Recognition System is a standalone system. 

We use a voice recognition IC by our supplier Silan. The following data processing steps for voice recognition are carried out inside this IC:

  • Noise/echo cancelling
  • Extraction and recognition of characteristic values
  • Output of recognition result
  • Playing of a response audio file
