NTE™ v2.1 · 45ms Latency

Neural Translation Engine™

A custom INT8 quantized neural network running entirely on-device — no cloud, no internet, no audio streaming. Your plant's voice is generated in under 45 milliseconds.

Inference Pipeline

01

Sensor Fusion

FLIR Lepton 3.5 provides leaf surface temperature delta. BME688 provides ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, and quad-gas resistance. Time-of-day and season are appended to the feature vector.

02

Feature Extraction

12 real-time features are normalised and packed into an INT8 input tensor: VPD, leaf temp delta, gas resistance, pressure trend, humidity trend, light proxy, species ID, time-of-day, day-of-year, and 3 rolling averages.

03

NTE™ Neural Network Inference

The INT8 quantized neural network (ARM Cortex-M4 NPU) runs inference in under 8ms, classifying the input into one of 64 emotional state classes with a confidence score.

04

Speech Template Selection

The top-confidence emotional state class selects a language-appropriate speech template from a library of 20–40 curated human-written utterances per language per emotional class.

05

WaveNet-Lite Synthesis

The selected template text is synthesised into 44.1kHz audio using our on-device WaveNet-Lite voice model. Personality modulation (warmth, pitch, cadence) is applied per plant profile.

Sample Emotional States

Photosynthetic Joy 🌿

Triggered by: Optimal VPD + bright light + root zone healthy

"My leaves are catching the light perfectly right now. I feel alive."

Transpiration Fatigue 🌡️

Triggered by: VPD > 1.6 kPa, leaf temp elevated +1.2°C

"The air feels very dry today. My stomata are beginning to close."

Gentle Thirst 💧

Triggered by: Substrate dry > 80%, gas resistance rising

"I'm beginning to draw down my reserves. Water would be welcome."

Root Exploration Mode 🪴

Triggered by: Root zone temp optimal, substrate recently watered

"My roots are very active today. I can feel myself reaching further."

Morning Awakening ☀️

Triggered by: Light intensity rising after dark period

"The light is returning. I'm beginning the day's work."

Stormy Rest 🌧️

Triggered by: Atmospheric pressure drop + low light

"Something in the air has shifted. I'm conserving my energy today."
