Product Description

Struent Edge-AI Audio Processor

The Struent Edge-AI Audio Processor is a high-performance, ultra-efficient hybrid DSP + AI SoC designed to deliver advanced far-field voice recognition, multilingual translation, spatial audio, wellness analytics, and generative-AI-powered intelligence — all executed entirely on-device.

Positioned above the coprocessor in capability, this processor powers premium hearables, smart glasses, smart speakers, video doorbells, and automotive audio systems that demand complete speech and sound understanding — far beyond simple wake-word detection.

At its core, the processor combines a dedicated Audio DSP for deterministic signal processing (AEC, NS, beamforming, and spatial audio) with a Neural Processing Unit (1024 MACs) optimized for transformer/conformer-lite inference.

This enables sophisticated on-device models — including ASR-lite (50–200 commands), 20+ language translation, and real-time wellness and safety analytics — all within an active power envelope of just 5–50 mW, dropping to under 1 mW in idle mode.

For OEMs, it introduces a new level of product intelligence and differentiation — enabling devices that listen, understand, and respond locally with unmatched privacy and near-zero latency. For investors, it signifies the shift of audio AI from cloud to edge, tapping into a rapidly expanding $20B+ silicon TAM across consumer and automotive markets.
