RSC-164

The RSC-164, from the Interactive Speech™ family of products, is a low-cost microcontroller designed for use in consumer electronics. The RSC-164 combines an 8-bit microcontroller with high-quality speaker-independent and speaker-dependent speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker verification, four-voice music synthesis, and voice record and playback. Products can use one or all of the RSC-164 features in a single application.

The RSC-164 employs a sophisticated neural network that learns to classify sound data. On-chip speech recognition algorithms reach an accuracy of greater than 96% for speaker-independent recognition and greater than 99% for speaker-dependent recognition. Sensory's neural network approach (patent pending) eliminates the need for expensive signal processing or extensive RAM storage.

The highly-integrated nature of the chip reduces external parts count. A complete system may be built with few additional parts other than a battery, speaker, microphone, and audio input support circuitry. Low power requirements make the RSC-164 an ideal solution for battery-powered and hand-held devices.
