Renesas Voice UI Hands‑On Lab

On‑Demand Virtual Lab

The demand for touchless interface with IoT and endpoint devices is growing rapidly, but the cost and complexity of designing voice recognition interfaces is often a deterrent to designers; Covid has only accelerated this trend.

An ideal solution to meet the challenge would run on a small MCU and leave room for the principal product application. It would work autonomously and have a reasonably rich vocabulary to address the product needs, but not necessarily natural language processing.

Adding VUI to your design should be as easy as it is for your customers to use it. Renesas has worked with Cyberon to integrate their voice recognition software, DSpotter, into a turnkey reference solution kit. Watch this hands-on lab demonstration to learn how to add a VUI in minutes using your own voice commands. The lab includes:

• A review of the VUI template and tools
• Runnning the template and making simple changes
• Starting a project from scratch to demonstrate how simple it is to incorporate speech recognition into a product design without a cloud connection
