About this item

The Official Arduino Nicla Voice is a compact yet highly capable development board designed for edge AI applications, particularly in always-on voice recognition. Measuring just 22.86 x 22.86 mm, the Nicla Voice is engineered for space-constrained environments where intelligent voice activation and processing are required without reliance on the cloud.At its core, the board features Syntiant’s NDP120 Neural Decision Processor, a low-power AI chip optimized for running multiple machine learning models simultaneously. This advanced processor mimics biological neural networks to perform complex tasks such as keyword spotting, voice command recognition, and audio event detection—all with ultra-low latency and minimal power consumption.Thanks to its onboard microphone and sensor support, Nicla Voice is ideal for applications in smart home devices, industrial monitoring, wearable electronics, and more. It can run completely offline, ensuring user privacy and reducing network dependency. With Arduino’s easy-to-use development tools and compatibility with the Arduino ecosystem, even complex AI models can be deployed quickly at the edge.Whether you're building a voice-activated assistant or an intelligent sensor system, the Nicla Voice makes real-time voice AI more accessible and efficient than ever before.
