XCORE®-VOICE

xcore.ai’s unique architecture combined with the XCORE-VOICE framework allows designers to incorporate keyword, event detection, or advanced local dictionary support to create a complete voice interface solution.

Example Designs

XCORE-VOICE is a highly flexible voice solution that allows you to pick and choose voice components to run alongside your desired AI model. Detailed documentation is available to guide you through options as highlighted in the sections below.

We have included two example designs that will enable you to get started immediately.
Following that you can download the source code to further compile, according to your needs.
