Their Signal Processing Innovations Push the Edges of Tech
Improving Always-On Voice and Audio Recognition
With the ubiquity of text-to-audio dictation, digital voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa, and electronic devices like phones, smartwatches, and earphones that respond to voice commands, the keyboard as an interface could be largely gone in five years. Mouna Elkhatib and her AON team are ready. In 2018, she cofounded the company AONDevices (AON) to develop robust, low-power, on-chip algorithms that use artificial intelligence (AI) to give battery-powered devices the always-on capability of listening for and responding to voice and audio.
