The vendors at Development Kits for AVS (Alexa Voice Service) supply reference designs for Far-Field microphone technology. These reference designs have two modules.

  1. Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) that handle the array of microphones and noise reduction, Echo Cancellation, Beamforming, and the custom wake word.

  2. The microcontroller - such as an Android device, a Raspberry Pi, or some other microcontroller - handles the communication to an endpoint. The microcontroller controls if the analog speech is streamed to Speech-to-Text Client Libraries or to the AVS.
