Nicla Voice

Overview The Nicla Voice device, with dimensions of 22.86 × 22.86 mm, enables easy implementation of speech recognition technology permanently on the edge, thanks to its integration with the powerful neural decision processor NDP120 from Syntiant to run multiple artificial intelligence algorithms, benefiting from advanced machine learning techniques inspired by biology to automate complex tasks. The Nicla Voice device comes equipped with a comprehensive set of sensors: in addition to the microphone, it features a six-axis smart motion sensor and a magnetometer, making it the ideal solution for predictive maintenance, gesture/sound recognition, and contactless applications. The Nicla Voice provides built-in Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity for easy interaction with existing devices, and it is compatible with Nicla, Portenta, and MKR products. Finally, its extremely low power consumption allows for continuous sensor data processing around the clock, with an option for standalone battery operation. Small enough to fit wearable devices or upgrade existing machines, enabling artificial intelligence with minimal power requirements: Nicla Voice is the "impossible" combination that makes on-edge voice recognition possible — and easier than ever. Main features include: - Powerful processor with embedded deep neural networks in a small size (22.86 × 22.86 mm) - Built-in microphone, magnetometer, and a six-axis smart inertial measurement unit - Built-in Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity - Adding speech recognition capabilities to your projects - Extremely low power to process sensor data 24/7 - Standalone operation with battery power - Compatible with Portenta and MKR products Simply say the word Sound detection and recognition can change the way you interact with machines, systems, and devices. With sensors that are always active — thanks to low power consumption — all you need is a wake-up word or sound: no buttons to search for while driving, no interfaces that hinder your designs. And it’s not just about hearing the sound of Nicla; it also understands the meaning of sounds: thanks to advanced neural processing, it can learn to interpret audio inputs such as passwords and commands. Nicla Vision can handle multiple applications simultaneously, recognizing different speakers, capturing multiple wake words, and activating keyword detection at the same time. But of course, there are more than just voice commands. Nicla Voice can be trained to identify loud bearings requiring maintenance, glass breakage, intruders attempting to enter, and much more. Nicla Voice allows you to listen to music safely: it is integrated into smart headphones.
