IC Selection Guide
The Interactive Speech™ line of ICs and software was developed to “bring life to products” through advanced
speech recognition and audio technologies. The Interactive Speech Product Line is designed for cost-sensitive
consumer electronic applications such as home electronics, home automation, toys, and personal
communication. The product line includes the award-winning RSC mixed signal processor family and the SC
series of long-duration speech and music synthesis microcontrollers. All IC’s are supported by complete
evaluation and development tools.
The RSC-4x family supports the FluentChip™ technology library, which includes high-quality speech
recognition, speech and music synthesis, voice password, and voice record and playback functions. Powerful
application code development tools, a C-compiler, and “push-button” voice recognition command tools and
speech compression tools are available. Quick T2SI™ is Sensory’s revolutionary text-based Speaker
Independent recognition development tool. The Quick Synthesis tool generates highly compressed, low data
rate music and speech synthesis in a few minutes.
In addition to best-in-class recognition performance, the RSC-4x family provides a high level of on-chip feature
integration, including a microphone preamplifier, 16-bit ADC, vector math accelerator, 3 independent timers, 10-
bit DAC, 4.8 Kbytes of RAM and code ROM. A complete system may be built by adding only a battery, speaker,
microphone, and a few resistors and capacitors.
SC-6x ICs employ three key speech technologies - CX, MX, and LPC - that produce natural sounding speech
while using relatively small amounts of memory. Midi-like, polyphonic music output is also supported, and can
be played back simultaneously with a vocal track. Features include three low-power modes, configurable I/O,
two timers, a 10-bit DAC, and an eight-level interrupt control unit.
