Abstract:
An audio device and a method thereof are provided. The method is adopted by an audio device to detect a voice, wherein the audio device is coupled to a host device. The method includes an acoustic conversion circuit converting an acoustic wave into an analog audio signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converting the analog audio signal into digital audio data; a first-level voice detection circuit detecting voice activity in the analog audio signal; a second-level voice detection circuit detecting a beginning syllable of a key phrase in the digital audio data when the voice activity is detected in the digital audio data; and a third-level voice detection circuit detecting the key phrase from the digital audio data only when the beginning syllable of the key phrase is detected in the digital audio data.
