Our ClearVox technology takes advantage of the latest academic research in algorithms for beamforming and signal direction of arrival to achieve a truly robust and exceptionally clear voice signal, regardless of background noise, acoustics, environment or product design. Our customers can now benefit from a single-source offering for the complete voice input solution, both the DSP and the software reducing design complexity and their time-to-market.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CEVA introduces ClearVox, a new software suite of advanced voice input processing algorithms aimed at enhancing speech intelligibility and voice clarity for voice-enabled devices.
