DSP Group announced that it is directly meeting the burgeoning demand for trusted and reliable voice user interfaces (VUIs) for smart home devices through the combination of ULE and its SmartVoice system-on-chip (SoC) with HDClearTM advanced voice processing algorithms. Together, the two technologies achieve the accuracy, performance, and trust required for seamless and intuitive far-field voice control to enable the development of next-generation VUI-based designs. Studies have already shown that growth for voice and speech recognition is going to accelerate exponentially, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.2% to reach $31.82 billion by 2025. This includes voice activated systems, voice-enabled devices, and voice-enabled virtual assistants. For far-field voice control and speech recognition components, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.89%, from $969 million in 2018, to $3.505 billion in 2024.
