Skyworks Solutions Inc. will introduce its latest software to remove unwanted background noise from speech signals.
The company will demonstrate the solution for the first time at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 trade show.
The real-time solution for separating speech from noise in communications and recording systems received a 2024 Innovation Award Honoree. The technology enables users to increase speech intelligibility, preserve quality and reduce listener fatigue when using handsets, headsets, conference systems, automotive telematics, wireless microphones and audio-visual systems.
The software uses artificial intelligence (AI) based on a feed-forward neural network that requires less than 250 kilobytes of memory while adding no latency when integrated into existing audio processing path.
Market research firm Astute Analytica said the edge AI market is forecast to grow to $8 million in 2027 up from just $1.4 million in 2021. Much of this will be from the internet of things, wearables and 5G devices and networks.
Additional features of the software include:
- Requires less than 10% CPU load
- Runs at 48 kHz
- No large cloud server connections needed
- No tethering to desktop or mobile devices
- Does not interfere with original speech signals
