As 2016 draws to a close, embedded systems consultancy ByteSnap Design share their predictions for what may dominate the electronics industry in 2017.

Speech recognition systems, such as those that convert speech to text on cellphones, are generally the result of machine learning. A computer pores through thousands or even millions of audio files and their transcriptions, and learns which acoustic features correspond to which typed words.But transcribing recordings is costly, time-consuming work, which has limited speech recognition to a small subset of languages spoken in wealthy nations.

Qorvo is helping to advance smart home networking with a radio chip and software that significantly expand the ability of consumers to control their homes with spoken commands.The GP712 radio chip supports multiple communication protocols in a single-chip design suited to connected-home applications. It was introduced earlier this year by GreenPeak Technologies - now Qorvo's Low Power Wireless business - and is now in production.
