MIT’S New Chip Creates A Great Breakthrough In The Modern Voice Recognition System
- comments
MIT creates a new breakthrough with the invention of the specialized chips. This new discovery ultimately helps to create automatic speech recognition in the electronic devices.
Mashable reported that these new chips are less power-consuming. Almost all the tech companies are using the voice control feature as it is a common norm now. This time MIT unveils this feature with more advanced technology.
This new MIT chip requires a power between 0.2 and 10 milliwatts to perform work. The amount of power depends on the number of words at the time of processing. Currently, all the smartphones that have the speech-recognition software must require 1 watt of power.
The MIT chip is much more efficient than those chips used in the smartphones of the other tech companies. The key reason behind this simplicity is the existence of the simple circuit. In a word, the whole process works through a simple circuit setup.
This unique chip mainly depends on a very easy "voice activity detection" circuit that can recognize every single word commanded to the device. The main aim of the MIT is to create a very easy voice recognition system and saves a good amount of power. This fact certainly saves the battery life of the smart devices.
When the chip gets a command from the user, then the neural network in it activates and performs the necessary work. Researchers at the MIT opine that this kind of efficiency is very much useful for the smart devices. Modern electronic devices always require smoothness to perform essential works.
According to MIT News, it is very difficult to maintain very low power consumption in the next generation smart devices like mobile and other wearable gadgets. Marian Verhelst, the professor of microelectronics, opines that watches, earbuds, and glasses require a smooth user interface. This interface can't only depend on the touch screen because Speech can offer a far better interface and the new chip proves that.
The MIT researchers imagine the possibility of a future that can offer all smart devices with voice recognition feature. The new specialized chip must explore that opportunity in the coming days. Modern generation wants rapid advancement and this new discovery bears that truth.
