Cerence Inc. announced the integration of its Audio AI suite into Audio Weaver, created by DSP Concepts, the global leader in embedded audio software. The integration enables customers to seamlessly deploy Cerence AI's innovative automotive audio solutions within Audio Weaver's powerful audio development platform. Audio Weaver is production-proven in millions of consumer and automotive products worldwide and supports deployment from a wide range of vendors including ARM, Cadence, Qualcomm, NXP, and STMicroelectronics.
Cerence's Audio AI solutions now available as ready-to-go modules in Audio Weaver include: Speech Signal Enhancement: A suite of hands-free, advanced sound-processing technologies designed to clean up microphone inputs by removing background noise, enabling Cerence AI's high-performing in-car assistants to accurately interpret drivers' and passengers' speech. Emergency Vehicle Detection: In-car technology that alerts drivers about approaching emergency vehicles. EVD is especially critical as vehicles become increasingly autonomous.
It identifies sirens from police cars, firetrucks, and ambulances from up to 800 meters away, pinpointing the direction the emergency vehicle is traveling. EVD can then either advise a driver to step in and manually pull to the side of the road or guide an autonomous vehicle to take action and ensure that the emergency vehicle can safely pass. In-Car Communication: Voice processing technology that enhances conversations between passengers in a vehicle by amplifying and clarifying speech.
ICC uses microphones and speakers strategically placed throughout theabin to create a seamless and natural communication experience, even in noisy environments, fostering a comfortable and connected atmosphere inside the car. Several leading automakers have already implemented Audio AI through its integration with Audio Weaver, enhancing the in-car user experience and creating a safe environment for drivers.
