Kakao Enterprise and DSP Concepts Raise the Bar for Voice Performance in Mini Hexa Smart Speaker

DSP Concepts announced it partnered with South Korea's Kakao Enterprise to enable the voice user interface in its latest Mini Hexa smart speaker (KE-H200). The Mini Hexa is the company’s fourth smart device to be released and uses DSP Concepts’ TalkTo audio front end to eliminate unreferenced sound for far-field voice control in noisy and unpredictable environments. The result ensures flawless speech recognition regardless of external sound for an optimal user experience.

Voice UI chipset specialist DSP Group, and Harman International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, announced their cooperation implementing voice input technology, based on DSP Group’s SmartVoice Audio/voice SoC and HDClear far-field multi-mic algorithms. The cooperation will enable expanding Harman's Sonique Total Voice Solution platform into a new generation of voice-enabled products.
