Image of ArkX Laboratories' EveryWord™ Ultra Far-Field AFE (Audio Front End) ProcessorArkX Labs' EveryWord ultra far-field voice capture and control DSP solutions offer an unmatched voice experience for H2H and H2M interfaces. Utilizing 3-D reverberation technology, the AFE voice module and development kit capture voice commands from 3x the distance (up to 9+ meters) versus traditional beam-forming technology. These solutions work reliably around corners, and in noisy and reverberate environments without having to lower the playback volume from other loud or competing single-point noise sources.

ArkX Labs’ 3-D reverberation technology provides maximum design flexibility for the industrial designer to achieve their goals. The technology works well regardless of fixed and mobile obstructions in the audio path. Complex living spaces, work environments, and competing talkers are no problem. Our solution utilizes twelve acoustic echo cancellers (AECs) which provide superior barge-in performance versus the standard 1-2 AEC solutions. EveryWord products support ultra-low power operation that is ideal for battery-powered applications. Everyword solutions are simultaneously compatible with the leading wake word engines (WWE) and voice services including Amazon, Google, Siri, Cortana, AliGenie, Baidu/Kitt.ai, as well as other proprietary solutions.

The EveryWord AFE voice module and development kit are Amazon (AVS) qualified and production-ready, saving development and testing time to accelerate products to market.
