Digi Unveils Digi ConnectCore Voice Control Software

Digi International, a provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, connectivity products, and services, today unveiled Digi ConnectCore Voice Control, an advanced voice-control software solution for its ConnectCore family of system-on-modules (SOMs).

ConnectCore Voice Control enables developers to design voice-based human-machine interfaces (HMIs) that allow users to control device operations with speech. Digi ConnectCore Voice Control provides voice processing on edge devices with no cloud connectivity required.

Digi ConnectCore Voice Control supports 30 languages and a 60,000-word vocabulary and a complete tool suite to train new commands and generate custom voice-enabled applications.

"Digi's ConnectCore Voice Control allows engineers to create touchless human machine interfaces (HMIs) for their devices, enabling interaction even at distances where the device cannot be seen," said Andreas Burghart, senior product manager at Digi, in a statement. "That's particularly helpful in industrial settings where voice-controlled devices can increase safety by allowing users to focus on important tasks rather than controlling the device through a touch-based GUI.

"Raised on smartphones, today's users of embedded devices increasingly expect the same type of speech interface they experience in their homes and vehicles. But this can be difficult and expensive to develop, particularly in embedded Linux, because it typically requires talented UI developers and special software tools. Digi ConnectCore Voice Control includes everything developers need to seamlessly integrate voice control into their devices," Burghart said.
