Both Sensory and DSP Concepts provide technology that enables developers to create better audio products. Sensory is focused on improving user experience through embedded machine learning technology for wake word detection, command and phrase spotting, natural language processing, and sound identification. DSP Concepts' mission is to make audio innovation easier by providing product makers with a low-code, hardware-agnostic audio development platform and tools that streamline workflows from prototyping to production.

Sensory's machine learning solutions, TrulyHandsfree for wake word detection and phrase detection, and TrulyNatural for continuous speech recognition, provide voice user interfaces that are on-premise, fast and do not require cloud computing. DSP Concepts' Audio Weaver platform enables drag-and-drop audio design creation, and the TalkTo audio front-end enables flexible voice control that can scale to fit a variety of use cases.

Both companies provide the fundamental software building blocks for Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) and therefore have a strong customer relationship. In fact, their technologies complement each other so well that Sensory and DSP Concepts often work together to meet customer requirements.

While delivering innovative voice technologies is critical to the success of our individual businesses, it is equally important to provide these technologies to our chipset partners. With that in mind, Sensory and DSP Concepts have formed a strategic partnership to create a technology bundle for voice-enabled products. The end goal is simple, to make it easier than ever for chipset companies to integrate all the software needed to create world-class voice user interface solutions.

Sensory's TrulyHandsfree and TrulyNatural libraries have been integrated and are now available directly on the DSP Concepts Audio Weaver platform. Additionally, Sensory's edge-based AI models have been tested and tuned for optimal performance with additional processing by DSP Concepts. The two companies now offer common terms and licenses for the combination of DSP Concepts and Sensory technologies, which consists of a complete software package that, when combined with the hardware solution, creates a near-turnkey audio design toolkit that enables product manufacturers to easily integrate powerful and flexible voice control into their products.

"From prototype to deployment, we bring your complete vision for a branded, custom voice experience to life in an instant. This integration puts Audio Weaver and Sensory at the heart of it all," said Chin Beckmann, CEO of DSP Concepts.

"Chipset companies can quickly and easily integrate our world-class software and voice tools to enable voice designs at scale -- working together to deliver customized, unique voice experiences," said Todd Mozer, CEO at Sensory.
