HEAD acoustics Presents 3PASS Background Noise Simulation System at AISE 2017

HEAD acoustics introduced its new 3PASS Accurate Background Noise simulation solution to measure the true performance of noise suppression algorithms in voice-controlled speakers, multi-microphone handheld communication devices, headsets with Active Noise Cancellation, etc. The system allows manufacturers to record and playback any sound field that is representative of typical use cases, and gauge how well their products perform in real world conditions.

German company HEAD acoustics launched VoCAS (Voice Control Analysis System), an efficient software analysis solution for evaluating speech recognition systems. From voice control in vehicles to the use of speech commands for smartphones, tablets or telephone hotlines, VoCAS allows quick and objective quality evaluation, under realistic and repeatable test conditions, of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, found in an increasing number of applications today.

Returning from ALMA International Symposium & Expo (AISE) and CES 2016 show in Las Vegas - both extremely enlightening and motivating - we felt motivated to write about high-resolution audio (again). HRA was the main theme chosen for AISE 2016 – “Hi Res Audio: A Bridge To Build Or A Bridge Too Far?” – debated in all possible perspectives in an insightful and constructive manner.
