Live Theater Session by Microchip: End-to-End, Edge-Optimized Platform for Custom Voice Interaction

Session details:

Keyword Spotting (KWS) is a cornerstone of modern voice-enabled systems, supporting always-on, low-latency interaction while maintaining privacy and ultra-low power operation at the edge. By eliminating continuous cloud connectivity, edge-based KWS delivers faster response times and robust performance even in noisy or bandwidth-limited environments.

Microchip introduces a proprietary, interactive voice command platform that allows developers to design, train and deploy custom wake words and commands through an intuitive, text-driven interface—without the need for audio data collection or deep machine learning expertise. Developers can tailor models by selecting acoustic environments, defining wake and command phrases, and tuning parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and latency. Optimized models are generated automatically and can be tested online in real time or seamlessly integrated into embedded applications.

Purpose-built for Microchip microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs), the software platform delivers deterministic, high-accuracy performance without external hardware accelerators and provides a streamlined, end-to-end workflow that accelerates time-to-market for voice-enabled edge products.
