 Inc. is integrating SoundClear(R) full-duplex voice processing The computerized handling of voice, which includes voice store and forward, voice response, voice recognition and text to speech technologies.  technology into their Lynx(TM) EDGE baseband chips. Skyworks chose Acoustic's SoundClear technology to enable full-duplex speakerphone performance along with flexibility and easy tuning for the myriad of handsets that will use Skyworks' EDGE system solution.

The full-duplex operation provides rich, clear, enhanced sound with no clipping (1) Cutting off the outer edges or boundaries of a word, signal or image. In rendering an image, clipping removes any objects or portions thereof that are not visible on screen. See scissoring. See also WCA.  or distortion. The SoundClear processing optimizes speech intelligibility Noun 1. speech intelligibility - the intelligibility of speech (usually measured in the presence of noise or distortion)
intelligibility - the quality of language that is comprehensible
 with full-duplex control that adaptively monitors, detects and processes incoming voice, echo and noise signal power levels. With the RAPID(TM) tuning tool, handset vendors can quickly and easily tune their products for optimal audio performance adjusting for the varying mechanical and acoustical properties of the handset.

"The SoundClear software is key for enabling multimedia mobile products so that customers can access voice and data at the same time with natural flowing two-way communication Two-way communication is a form of transmission in which both parties involved transmit information. Common forms of two-way communication are:
  • In-person communication
  • Telephone conversations
  • Amateur, CB or FRS radio contacts
  • Computer networks . See back-channel.
