STMicroelectronics and iFLYTEK has introduced the market's first IoT development platform that enables voice-recognition cloud services in Chinese. The joint solution is on display at electronica China 2017, Shanghai New International Expo Center, Hall E4 Booth 4102, March 14-16^th, 2017.

The platform combines ST's SensorTile multi-sensor module, STM32 ODE (Open Development Environment), and Open software package with iFLYTEK's voice-recognition technology. It gives designers a complete toolset for the development of voice-enabled Smart Home, Smart Driving, IoT, and robotics applications.

The SensorTile module captures voice inputs through the digital MEMS microphone (MP34DT04) and transmits them using the Bluetooth Low Energy network processor (BlueNRG-MS) to iFLYTEK's cloud through a smartphone with the voice-recognition result back within seconds.

"ST's SensorTile is a perfect match for developers integrating voice-control capabilities in applications across Smart-Home, Smart-Industry, and Smart-Driving segments. iFLYTEK has been empowering developers with the best performing and easy-to-use speech-recognition service," said Jidong YU, Senior Vice President of iFLYTEK. "We have been working with ST to enable the SensorTile platform with a high-performance Chinese-language recognition. Leveraging iFLYTEK's more than 270,000 developers on xfyun.cn and ST's smart IoT development tools, we look forward to creating more designs together in future."

"The implementation of iFLYTEK's automatic speech-recognition services on SensorTile accelerates and simplifies voice-enabled IoT design," said Collins Wu, Marketing Director, Analog and MEMS Group, Greater China & South Asia, STMicroelectronics. "Leveraging a powerful open-software ecosystem, including the STM32 Open Development Environment, shortens time to market and makes IoT design simple and cool."
