Kun Jing wants to enable any embedded system in China to listen to and speak Mandarin. He aims to make Baidu's DuerOS a kind of Android for natural-language cloud services.

"Our goal is to have every chip maker pre-install our software," said Jing, general manager of Baidu's DuerOS group, in an interview with EE Times. "We want every device to have voice capability," he said, noting the free DuerOS code can add value to an otherwise commodity Wi-Fi chip.

So far, ARM, Conexant, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Realtek, RDA Microelectronics and one undisclosed chip vendor plan to support DuerOS. They are among about 100 partners that include systems, software and content companies.

Realtek, RDA and the unnamed chip partner will offer so-called lightweight chip sets. So far, the RDA 5981, a 40nm Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip with an ARM Cortex M4 processor, is the only chip shipping with the DuerOS SDK pre-installed.
