SAN JOSE, Calif., April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DSP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSPG), a leading global provider of integrative wireless chipset solutions for converging communications, announced today that OPPO has integrated its SmartVoice technology into its just-announced OPPO Reno smartphone. The new phone was announced in China last week. By providing low power consumption and best in class far-field voice capabilities, DSP Group’s low-power DBMD4 audio system-on-chip (SoC) allows users of the new OPPO phones to access Breeno and all its capabilities through high-accuracy far-field and two-way voice algorithms for a natural, seamless user experience.
“For over 10 years OPPO has relentlessly pursued the optimum synergy of aesthetic satisfaction and innovative technology, and we are delighted to be part of the next stage of that objective by voice enabling the Breeno intelligent assistant,” said Ofer Elyakim, CEO, DSP Group “Our SmartVoice solutions are being recognized globally and by wide selection of applications as the leading solutions for low power far-field always on voice.”
DSP Group’s DBMD4 chipset is an ultra-low-power platform in an always-on device and also conserves battery power as it wakes the device from sleep.
Breeno was announced at the last OPPO developer conference in December in Beijing as an intelligent assistant for the era of 5G in China. “As a strategic product for the future, Breeno will break the barriers between the smartphone and all other interconnected things while bringing users an integrated, smooth and intelligent experience. We are delighted to cooperate with DSP Group and integrate its always-on voice activation which enable our customers enjoy from always-on voice capabilities and still keep the battery life,” Oppo said.
Adhering to the concept of “openness, sharing and co-creation,” Wu said that Breeno will serve as a speech skill and smart service platform that will be open to developers and partners to integrate new services and devices and create an intelligent control center for connected devices.
By integrating decision making, perception, and learning skills through situational cognition and natural interaction, such as voice, Breeno will better understand the needs of the user. “Clearly OPPO is on the cutting edge of where mobile devices need to be with regard to the user experience, especially with 5G emerging,” said Elyakim. “As such, its selection of DSP Group’s SmartVoice for the Reno is further validation of our ability to improve human-machine voice interactions in microphone-equipped devices. Working with OPPO and Breeno helps ensure that voices will be heard as we move towards wider adoption of the integrated voice experience.”
