Overview
ESP audio development boards, powered by ESP32, ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3 SoCs, are designed for audio applications such as smart speakers, voice robots, story-teller machines and other voice-controlled devices used in smart-home solutions. They provide out-of-the-box voice enablement, and support connection to multiple voice platforms.
Top-Notch Audio Solutions
Espressif’s audio boards provide advanced Wi-Fi + Bluetooth dual-mode audio solutions that can be easily and quickly implemented, supporting music-playing from multiple sources, such as HTTP, HLS (HTTP Live Streaming), SPIFFS, SDCARD, A2DP-Source, A2DP-Sink, HFP, etc. To this end, a number of different audio formats are supported, such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, AMR, TS, ALC, and G.711.
Extensive Applications
ESP audio boards support one-key Wi-Fi configuration, voice wake-up, voice recognition and cloud-platform access. They are designed for the development of audio and AIoT applications, e.g., Wi-Fi or Bluetooth speakers, speech-based remote controllers, voice robots, smart toys and connected smart-home appliances with a wide-ranging audio functionality.
ESP Audio SDKs
Espressif’s SoCs are not just about connectivity. With integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interconnection capacity, excellent computing power and a rich set of peripherals, Espressif offers a complete solution for various types of voice and audio applications. Espressif’s audio SDKs assist with the implementation of smart speakers, web radioses, voice assistants and voice-controlled devices, in general. They also support out-of-the-box connectivity to various platforms, such as Amazon’s AVS and Amazon Lex, Google’s Voice Assistant and Google DialogFlow, DuerOS, TmallGenie, XiaoAi, etc.
ESP-ADF
ESP-ADF is the official audio development framework for the ESP32 and ESP32-S2 SoCs. With ESP-ADF, you can easily add features, and develop a number of different audio applications ranging from simple to complex ones. ESP-ADF supports connection to various voice platforms.
ESP-VA-SDK
The ESP-Voice-Assistant SDK provides an implementation of Amazon's Alexa Voice Service, Google’s Voice Assistant, and Google's conversational interface (Dialogflow) for the ESP32 microcontroller.
ESP-Skainet
ESP-Skainet is Espressif’s speech recognition SDK targeting voice-controlled devices. ESP-Skainet can operate completely offline, without depending on cloud connectivity. Both wake-word and speech-command (phrase) detections happen locally on Espressif SoCs. ESP-Skainet takes advantage of various acoustic algorithms, such as voice-activity detection, acoustic echo cancellation, noise reduction and beamforming. As a result, ESP-Skainet achieves enhanced acoustic performance.
