Voice recognition toys such as stuffed animals and pet robots respond to your voice and can communicate with you as if alive. Voice recognition toys are quietly gaining in popularity, because of innovative characteristics not seen in traditional toys. These include providing stress-free companionship and helping to care for the elderly. NEC Electronics supplies the voice recognition feature that constitutes the brain of these toys, by installing our own V850 microcomputer as middleware, to high acclaim from the electronic toy industry.
