STMicroelectronics and iFLYTEK Market’s First Chinese Voice-Recognition Cloud Services

The global semiconductor leader STmicroelectronics and top MEMs supplier iFLYTEK, have unveiled market’s first IoT development platform offering voice recognition cloud services in Chinese. The solution is going to displayed at electronica China 2017, Shanghai New International EXpo Center, Hall E4 Booth 4102 from 14th to 16th March, 2017.

The platform renders a combination ST’s SensorTile multi-sensor module, STM32 ODE (Open Development Environment), and Open.software package with the voice recognition technology from iFLYTEK. It serves as a complete tool set for designers and can be applied to applications including voice-enabled Smart Home applications, IoT, robotics and Smart-Driving.

The platform is powered by ST’s SensorTile multi-sensor module utilises digital MEMs microphone (MP3DT04) to capture voice inputs and then transmits them through Bluetooth Low Energy network processor (BlueNRG-MS) to iFLYTEK’s cloud using a smartphone with voice-recognition result within seconds.

“ST’s SensorTile is a perfect match for developers integrating voice-control capabilities in applications across Smart-Home, Smart-Industry, and Smart-Driving segments. iFLYTEK has been empowering developers with the best performing and easy-to-use speech-recognition service,” said Jidong YU, Senior Vice President of iFLYTEK Co., Ltd. “We have been working with ST to enable the SensorTile platform with a high-performance Chinese-language recognition.

Leveraging iFLYTEK’s more than 270,000 developers on xfyun.cn and ST’s smart IoT development tools, we look forward to creating more designs together in future.”

Technical Information

STMircroelectronics’ 13.5mmx13.5mm SensorTile is presently the smallest turnkey sensor board of its type. It’s fitted with MEMS accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, pressure sensor, and MEMs microphone. Owing to the presence of the on-board low-power STM32L4 microcontroller, it can serve as a sensing and connectivity hub for developing products like gaming accessories, smart home or IoT devices, and wearables.
