Transmit to iFLYTEK Cloud via Smartphone, Obtain Results within Seconds
Toolset for Developing Voice-Based Applications

ST Microelectronics (hereafter ST) has launched an IoT development platform that implements Chinese speech recognition cloud services together with iFLYTEK, one of China's leading speech recognition cloud service providers.

The new platform combines ST's multi-sensor module SensorTile and STM32 ODE (Open Development Environment) with iFLYTEK's speech recognition technology, the Open.software package. This will serve as a perfect toolset for developing voice-based smart home, smart driving, IoT, and robotics applications.



The SensorTile module receives voice input through a digital MEMS microphone (MP34DT04), transmits it to iFLYTEK's cloud via smartphone using a BLE (Bluetooth^® Low Energy) network processor (BlueNRG-MS), and obtains speech recognition results within seconds.

Jidong YU, Senior Vice President of iFLYTEK, stated, "ST's SensorTile is a perfect solution that enables developers to integrate voice-control functionality into applications in the smart home, smart industry, and smart driving sectors," and added, "iFLYTEK has been providing developers with high-performance and easy-to-use speech recognition services. We have been collaborating with ST to implement this SensorTile platform capable of high-performance Chinese recognition. We look forward to collaborating on more designs with over 270,000 developers based on xfyun.cn and utilizing ST's smart IoT development tools in the future."

Collins Wu, Marketing Director of Analog and MEMS Group for China and South Asia at ST, stated, "By implementing iFLYTEK's automatic speech recognition service on the SensorTile, we have been able to accelerate and simplify voice-based IoT design," and explained, "By leveraging the powerful open-software ecosystem including STM32™ ODE, we can shorten time-to-market and implement IoT designs in a simple and elegant manner."
