Notes

  1. After adding advanced algorithm functions, the number of command words may be less than the annotated value.
  2. After the external IOT module is added, the number of supported command words varies according to different module models.
  3. CI1301, CI1302, and CI1312: When the local voiceprint recognition function is enabled, local speech recognition cannot be supported at the same time in these chips. To Support local voiceprint recognition and local speech recognition at the same time, please select chip CI1303 and CI1306.
