    QuickLogic Collaborates with AISpeech Company, Ltd. to Enable Cloud-Based Artificial Intelligence 
    SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 23, 2017) - QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK)
    • AISpeech is a leading enterprise of AI-based speech technology in China
    • Supports QuickLogic vision to enable any battery-powered IoT device to connect to cloud-based digital AI assistants via voice commands
    • First application will be Bluetooth headsets from IoT hardware company, Qiwo
    QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, display bridge and programmable logic solutions, today announced that it is collaborating with AISpeech, a leading enterprise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) speech technology that is currently focusing on the Chinese market. This collaboration leverages the ultra-low-power integrated voice capabilities of the QuickLogic EOS™ S3 multi-core System on a Chip (SoC) to enable mobile, wearable and IoT devices to access the AISpeech cloud-based digital assistant. The first product utilizing the QuickLogic EOS S3 platform to enable AISpeech technology is the Qiwo "hearable" Bluetooth headset (see corresponding QuickLogic Qiwo press release for more information).
    "Voice-controlled interfaces are the key technology driver for the next generation of mobile, wearable and IoT devices," said Brian Faith, QuickLogic's president and CEO. "Our unique implementation of Sensory, Inc. voice technology, and our ability to include multiple voice trigger words in a single design, places us on the forefront of this trend. Our collaboration with companies, such as AISpeech, reflects our commitment to establishing a strong global ecosystem of partners."
    "We were pleased to work closely with Qiwo and QuickLogic in the development of Qiwo's new smart-hearable device that will leverage the power of our speech technology," said Xiongguo Lei, VP of AISpeech Company, Ltd. "The highly integrated QuickLogic EOS S3 SoC is an ideal solution for voice enabled wearable and IoT devices and is particularly well-suited for applications that require the lowest possible power consumption."

    This may be the start of a great platform for QUIK/AIS.
    The phrasing suggests that we can expect more going forward.

    S Johnson's discription of the adjacent possilbe still holds, the very real adjacenecy from this one item....will take a while to explore.

    Note that this is the 2nd hearable for us....and mybe we can be the go to guys for this segment of the IoT.?


    This company is far more capable than most will realize in the USA.
