Abstract

This paper presents the first dysarthric voice conversion SoC, which can translate stroke patients' voice into more intelligible and clearer speech in real time. The SoC is composed of a RISC-V MPU and a compact DNN engine with a single 16-bit multiply-accumulator, which improves 12x performance and > 100x energy efficiency, and has been implemented in 40nm CMOS. The silicon area is 0.68×0.79mm2, and the measured power is 18.4mW for converting 3-sec dysarthric voice within 0.5 sec (at 200MHz and 0.8V) and 4.8mW for conversion < 1 sec (at 100MHz and 0.6V).
