Last Updated: September 08, 2026
Polaris Edge by SoundHound AI brings high-performance speech to text (STT) directly to retail, hospitality, and self-service endpoints. Optimized for Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 1) and optimized with OpenVINO™ Toolkit, the solution enables voice interactions to run locally on kiosks, drive-thrus, and embedded devices, reducing reliance on cloud connectivity while improving responsiveness and operational efficiency.
By leveraging Intel's integrated CPU and GPU architecture for edge AI inference, Polaris Edge helps organizations deliver fast, reliable voice experiences, enhance privacy through local processing, and support scalable deployments across distributed locations. The result is faster service, improved customer experiences, and a scalable voice AI foundation for modern retail and hospitality operations.
