VoCon AEC SpeechAttendant

VoCon® AEC is a powerful and adaptive algorithm for achieving acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction in telephony applications for hands-free car kits targeted at vehicles of different sizes, ranging from compact cars to large SUVs, and using different interior materials—whether leather or woven textile. VoCon AEC delivers maximum voice quality, full duplex capability, and fast adaptation even in noisy car environments.

Overview

VoCon AEC enables developers to create telephony applications with built-in acoustic echo cancellation that deliver maximum voice quality for hands-free communication in noisy car environments. High quality speech transmission, minimal distortion of speech signals, superior flexibility, and rapid adaptation is achieved through Nuance's proven VoCon AEC algorithm. While VoCon AEC is designed to provide continuous adaptation to changing acoustical and noise environments, thereby delivering high-quality speech in a wide range of car geometries and interiors, adjusting parameters can be used to tune the suppression and the perceptual behavior for a specific car model. Nuance offers professional services to assist with both the audio and application aspects of the systems integration process.

The platform-independent VoCon AEC is easily portable—even to small 16-bit signal processors. VoCon AEC is often deployed together with a speech recognition engine like VoCon SF or VoCon 3200 on the same platform to complete the portfolio of speech and signal processing software components.

Key Benefits
  • Develop telephony applications with built-in acoustic echo cancellation that deliver maximum voice quality for hands-free communication in noisy car environments.

  • Achieve high quality speech transmission, superior flexibility, and rapid adaptation through Nuance's proven AEC algorithm.

  • Adjust the maximum level of echo and noise suppression in your speech applications using VoCon AEC's linear adaptive filter and postprocessor.

  • Use one highly adaptive AEC algorithm for designing all your hands-free phone applications for different size vehicles—from small sports cars to large vans and SUVs-and varying interiors.

  • Develop speech applications with confidence using an AEC algorithm that has been proven in VDA tests with the best possible results (Type 1 Certification).
