Incorporating Sensory’s smartest and most efficient deep neural network technologies to date, TrulyHandsfree takes embedded voice interfaces to new heights, offering an on-device voice user interface experience that is more natural and intuitive than ever before, while a new shallow learning approach compresses the model sizes down to run in ultra-low power and with minimal memory and MIPS.
