VDK 5.7.0 - 4th June 2024

Summary

We are thrilled to announce the release of VDK 5.7.0, a significant update that marks a major advancement in our voice interaction technology suite. This release introduces a new feature designed to enhance the accessibility and versatility of the Voice Development Kit.

What's New in VDK 5.7.0?

  • VDK Service: Unveiling a binary web server allowing seamless integration with any programming language, eliminating the need for specific SDKs.

  • Voice Biometrics Model Layout: Consistent layout across SDKs, simplifying management and offering flexibility in model file usage.

Why This Matters?

  • Increased Flexibility: This update provides developers with the freedom to choose the best tools and languages for their projects without worrying about compatibility issues. The VDK Service acts as a universal REST interface, making VDK’s robust features more accessible than ever before.

  • Runs on Embedded Devices, Remains Offline: Despite being a web server binary, the VDK Service is designed to run efficiently on embedded devices. It remains completely offline, ensuring that your voice interaction capabilities are secure and do not depend on an internet connection.

  • Simplified Integration: By utilizing the VDK Service, we've significantly reduced the complexity of integrating voice interaction capabilities. It not only saves development time but also minimizes potential errors and compatibility concerns.

  • Looking Ahead: VDK 5.7.0 sets the stage for more significant advancements in the future. We are laying the groundwork for upcoming features and improvements that will further enhance our voice interaction capabilities, making our technology even more powerful and accessible.
